Concierge.com's insider take:
This is not the most famous museum in town, but it's one of the sweetest—and if you want to learn about the capital, it's the best. After various overhauls it's now clearly laid out chronologically to tell the story of the city over the past two millennia. The best parts are downstairs, where various scenes from the more recent past are reconstructed: There's a Victorian street of shops and and the 1666 Great Fire is commemorated in a cutely anachronistic diorama that shows the conflagration starting at a Pudding Lane shop, then gradually consuming the city. Sections of the actual Roman city walls are incorporated into the building. After a visit, you'll find yourself right by one of the modern centers of town: Smithfield, Farringdon, and Clerkenwell.
Mon–Sat 10–5:30, Sun noon–5:30; free admission.
