Kensington: the museums, linked
Three great museums, one great hall, and the correct order to do them in the rain. Walked and written by the editor. https://walkwalk.org/london/walks/kensington-museums-crawl

Start here, not at the Natural History. The cast courts are the most mind-bending free room in London; the cafe is a William Morris original.

2. Natural History Museum
Do the Hintze Hall for the blue whale, then leave. The queue is ninety percent tourists who think they have to see everything.

3. Science Museum
Skip the ground floor. Go straight to the Making the Modern World gallery on the middle floor; it's the best single room of objects in the country.

4. Royal Albert Hall
Walk around the outside. You don't have to go in. The frieze and the terracotta are worth a slow lap.

5. Kensington Gardens
Cross the road and enter. Ten minutes on the Broad Walk north, then cut west to exit at Kensington High Street.
