Most visitors spend 2-3 hours exploring the exhibition thoroughly, with audio guides adding valuable context that may extend your visit time.

The museum sits on the South Bank, easily accessible via Southwark or London Bridge stations, with the Millennium Bridge providing a scenic walking route from St Paul's Cathedral.

Advance booking through tickadoo is strongly recommended as this popular exhibition often sells out, especially during weekends and school holidays.

The museum features several cafes and restaurants offering everything from quick snacks to full meals, many with spectacular Thames views.
