Your best bet is the London Underground. It’s cheap, it’s efficient, and it smells faintly of adventure and regret. Take the District, Circle, or Piccadilly line straight to South Kensington station.
Once you pop out of the station, you’ll see signs for the museums. Just follow the crowds. If you see people carrying dinosaur backpacks, you’re definitely on the right track. Pro tip: don’t follow the pigeons—they’re just confused.
The Secret Tunnel Walk
Here’s the real hack: there’s a pedestrian tunnel from the station that spits you out right at the museum’s doorstep. It’s long, it’s tiled, and it feels mildly like a supervillain’s lair. But it’s dry and warm, which in London counts as a luxury holiday.
At the end of the tunnel, you’ll surface like a mole. Boom. You’re at the back entrance of the Natural History Museum. High-five yourself. You’ve earned it.
