If you’re staying in Central London, walking is a delightful option. From Covent Garden, it’s a 15-minute stroll through streets buzzing with street performers and flower stalls. From Oxford Street, it’s about 20 minutes past the British Museum’s own grand, neoclassical porch.
British Museum
Here’s the secret: walking makes you notice tiny details—a funny shop sign, a hidden garden, a Victorian lamppost. You’ll arrive at the museum already smiling, with a story to tell. And you’ve burned off a few calories, so you can enjoy the café guilt-free.
Cycling or Rideshare?
London’s Santander Cycles (the “Boris Bikes”) are perfectly fun for a short hop. Find a docking station near you, pay a few quid, and pedal with the wind in your hair. The museum has bike racks right outside—easy peasy.
Or use a rideshare app; just type “British Museum, Great Russell Street.” It might cost more, but it’s a lazy Sunday option. Fair warning: traffic can be slow, so bring a podcast. You’ll still get there—and that’s what matters.
