So unfortunately we arrive 7:00 am on a Thursday in a few weeks. We’ve booked the hotel to include the night before so we can dump our stuff, shower, change. Then going to go eat late breakfast or early lunch. Then we thought we would do the British Museum as it is literally a block from our hotel. This way if anyone gets tired they can bail whenever they like. But the goal is to visit and stay up and awake as long as possible.
Because of these time variables and the fact we have 4 people, we don’t want to book timed tickets but just wander over. Questions:
- Website encourages timed ticket entry but says they do take walk ups. Thursday at the end of March likely to be packed or will we be ok walking up?
2.. Plan B in case we can’t get in? We’re doing the Tower and boat down to Westminster the next day. Walk to Piccadilly area and just walk around? Don’t want to run around too much or stray too far from hotel that first day.
- Favorite sections of the British museum? Know the thing is massive. Can’t imagine we would spend more than 4-5 hours with jet lag and travel fatigue setting in.
Thanks.
