The Horniman Museum in South London is way off the usual tourist trail so you can wander round in relative* peace compared to places like The British Museum and The Natural History Museum. It was opened in 1901 by Frederick John Horniman after he began collecting specimens and artefacts from around the World. It’s definately one of the coolest places to go in London as there’s everything from natural history to Haitian voodoo.

* I say relative but there is a music area where the kids get to bang on loads of different instruments from around the World.
