From The Londonist, here’s their comprehensive listing of the free museums in London. However, neither the Tate Britain nor Tate Modern seem to appear on this list (but they should!), unless I missed them. Remember, too, that worthwhile museums also exist that charge for entry, but here are those that don’t cost even a Bob: https://londonist.com/london/free-museums?ref=related_links

Thanks for this, Cyn!
The Tate Britain and other free art galleries are listed on this page: "where to find free art in London" linked at the bottom of the article you've generously shared.

The V&A Warehouse in Stratford, which opened last year, is also missing. As is the V&A East, but that’s understandable as it only opened yesterday.

That is a monster list. Many I've never heard of.
My local museum is closed for refurbishment but will re-open at some point next year. They've got an interesting eclectic little collection. Hackney's been around in one form or another for a long time.

edited to add: Oh I applaud your valiant attempt to use British vernacular, but "bob" doesn't quite work in that context I'm afraid. Penny? I dunno.

The free entry is a great perk in a city that can get costly, but since many of us on here could well afford entry, don't forget to drop something in the donation box (well, now it's a QR code you scan). Helps keep these great places great
