The London Underground is your fastest and most iconic friend. Hop on the Central Line (the red one) or the Piccadilly Line (the dark blue one) and make your way to Holborn station. It’s about a ten-minute walk from there, past charming bookshops and coffee spots.
Alternatively, take the Northern Line to Tottenham Court Road station. Exit, walk east on Great Russell Street, and boom—you’re practically at the front door. Pro tip: grab a map from the station, but use your phone’s GPS too. You’ll feel like a local in no time.
What About the Bus?
Buses are the underrated heroes of London travel. Routes 7, 59, 68, 91, and 168 all stop near the museum. They’re cheaper than the Tube and let you see the city roll by—double-decker views included! Just tap your contactless card or Oyster, and you’re golden.
Sit on the top deck if you can. You’ll pass by grand squares and stately buildings. It’s like a free sightseeing tour before you even enter the museum. Why wouldn’t you?
