Victoria and Albert Museum

The V&A is a quieter experience than the other Kensington museums, and I think my favourite.

It has exhibits relating to art, fashion and design housed in some breathtakingly spacious halls.

You can even see Michelangelo’s David, though alas he is a replica donated by Queen Victoria.
