Description:
A London Walk is just £6.00 for two people with our great 2FOR1 offer!
The British Museum is the big one... the most important museum on the planet. It's an incomparably rich treasure-chest, brimming with things of world historical importance. The Rosetta Stone, the Egyptian antiquities and mummies, the Elgin Marbles, the Black Obelisk, the Magna Carta, the 2,000-year-old Lindow Bog Man, the Sutton Hoo treasure... here is civilisation, manifest.
"The best commentary on the revolution of Greek art and the quality of its achievement is... simply to come direct to the Elgin room from the Egyptian and Assyrian ones, as if into an explosion of life, even, as in the frieze, of gaiety." Which is by way of saying, to see these things with a great guide... well, you'll never be quite the same again. In short, the secret is to use your time at the British Museum well.
The British Museum tour takes place: every Monday at 11.00, every Wednesday at 14.00, and every Saturday at 14.00. Meet your guide just outside the exit of Holborn Tube.
There is no need to book for any of the London Walks - you simply turn up.
But you really do need to listen to our daily Recorded Information about London Walks on 020 7624 9255 or call 020 7624 3978 to find out what’s on and where to meet.
Better still, for all information on the walks, please view website!
PLEASE NOTE THAT OYSTER CARDS ARE NOT VALID WITH THIS OFFER.
