Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington and Chelsea

The collection is definitely worth a look. the decorations are very luxurious. The café inside has a great atmosphere as well!

What can I say that hasn’t been said before

Fantastic and free. But be wary of school holidays, too many kids taking selfies!

Very interesting and large collection, the building itself was incredible and very clean for the amount of guests. Very quiet in comparison to the science and natural history museums across the road, yet a better ambiance, building and facilities. There was also no need to book in advance yet other the museums required booking in advance to even queue to get in!

The museum needs more than a day. It’s like walking into an encyclopedia.

There is so much to see here that several visits are required to do it justice. I focussed on the Buddhism exhibition and loved it. My daughters (young teenagers) visited the Naomi exhibition and loved that (£10 entry for those under 26).

Beautiful museum. It is big, but not one of those overwhelming because it seems endless.

The museum was great with a nice park and cafe (surprisingly affordable too). Taking one star away because the elton john collection was underwhelming to say the least.

An absolutely great museum! Everything - really everything - was collected. This means that you discover the most interesting things completely unexpectedly.

This is my favourite museum in London! Would definitely recommend spending the whole day here or splitting the visit in multiple days as there is a lot to see. Perfect for a family day out or a date.

A very cozy and lovely museum. I want to go every day.

We spent a couple of hours here yesterday and could have spent more! Lots to look at and free to enter, too!

Amazing free museum, just make sure you have at least a few hours spare ( or half a day to see it all it’s so big And also in the cafe there was a live recital on the piano

The shop is full of superb gift ideas that you won't find anywhere else.

Beautiful and impressive. However, general recommendations on how to move around the individual halls (to get the best experience) are missing.

Literally distinguished in all aspects. Well organized with a very easy approach in accessibility for a wide variety that they have to feed your knowledge.

Very large, beautiful museum with tons of ancient and modern artworks, sculpture, and jewelry

Victoria and Albert museum- A Family Adventure in Time!🤩 We decided to embark on a grand adventure to the Victoria and Albert Museum last Sunday. Spoiler alert: no tickets required and zero queues! It was like walking into a VIP party where everyone forgot to show up—talk about a win for the family! We had about 2.5 hours to explore, which in kid-time is approximately the equivalent of an eternity in a black hole. We managed to conquer Level -1 (yes, we went underground like explorers!) and took a brief jaunt through Level 0, which was basically our version of a “quick pit stop.” Now, let me tell you, the number and quality of items on display were mind-blowing! I mean, we walked in thinking we’d see a few dusty old things and maybe a couple of fancy plates. Instead, we were greeted by a treasure trove of art and artifacts that made us feel like we’d stumbled into the set of a historical blockbuster. It was like Indiana Jones meets “Antiques Roadshow”! My kids were wide-eyed, mouths agape, and I could practically hear their brains working overtime, trying to process why people would make such intricate things when they could just order pizza. Honestly, at one point, I caught my youngest trying to negotiate with a medieval suit of armor for a snack! Despite the amazement, I could see the attention span of my little explorers starting to wane after about an hour. “Can we go now?” they asked, while I was still mesmerized by a tapestry that seemed to have more history than my entire family tree. But fear not! We’ve decided this museum is a must-return destination. We’ll definitely be back—maybe even more than once! There’s so much we missed that we’ll need a full-on strategy meeting just to plan our next visit. Maybe we’ll bring snacks next time to keep the kids fueled and happy—because nothing says “appreciating art” like a granola bar in front of a Renaissance painting! So, hats off to the Victoria and Albert Museum for exceeding our expectations! ⭐️

The Victoria and Albert museum have free talks and tours through the day. I joined the Fashion talk on the 29/10 which was given by a volunteer. She was brilliant, so much knowledge, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.We also did the Theatre talk. The newly opened room is fantastic, so well thought out. Our guide was a Curator, unfortunately, she spoke so quietly she was hard to understand, which was ironic given the topic. Seriously, the talks arel worth doing. Well done V&A.

Always a great place to go in London. I was a little disappointed with the fashion section as I remembered it to have more last time I went. However, there is plenty to see and very interesting. Unlike the Science and Natural history museum there was no queue to get in.

Loved the collection of Rodin statuses, a beautiful underrated museum, needs a map to guide you through the thematic collections

Many interesting exhibits, bit pricey to visit the Elton John exhibition but everything else was free

Breathtaking in every room! How I missed this museum having lived in London so long is beyond me. Highly highly recommended to anyone passionate about A&D!

I saw the museum from the outside, but I did not have the chance to go inside. Next time.

Quite an impressive museum. It's so big that you probably have to make do with half at a time. There are quite a few stairs between staggered levels all around. There are lifts, but they are not always close by, so those with walking difficulties will need some assistance. Free entry, £5 for a "cabin sized suitcase" in the cloakroom. Toilets, stair access, several places. IN .

The museum is excellent. The collections are amazing. Super.

One if London's greatest treasures. An inspirational place which high quality exhibits and great visiting exhibitions. A must see on any visit to London.

On my Bucket Retirement List of Places To as I am a museum H- 🥂🍾

Was here several times. Last time for the exhibit on Naomi Campbell. I have to say, best expo visited in a while, my friends and I had to read every bit of text we could find, super well curated. The staff are lovely, the merch great. Love this museum, thanks for the experience, always on point

This magnificent building, the V&A, the world's largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts and design, was founded in 1852 as a Manufacturing Museum. You should definitely see this magnificent museum that shares a 5,000-year-old story of creativity. It was a great chance that it was right across from the hotel where I stayed. V&A is a museum located in the South Kensington district of London, England. This museum has the world's largest decorative arts and design content. The museum, which permanently hosts a collection of over 4.5 million objects, is named after Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. Since the museum was founded in 1852, its area has expanded by 51,000 m². The museum, which has a 5,000-year-old art collection, has a wide range of art from ancient times to the present. One of the best activities to do, especially if it is rainy outside, is to spend a long time here surrounded by history.

Very cool museum with so much history to see!

I really like the V&A, but it is a very large museum. Fortunately the general admission is free, so it is possible to return again. This time I visited the amazing Islamic exhibition and the Fashion exhibition. To my great pleasure the food and cakes in the cafe were very good.

Large and beautiful museum, I am not a big fan of the design so many details were ambivalent to me. It is a good reminder of history and how fashion changes over time. But if you are not a fan of those types of museums, perhaps as a tourist you could skip it altogether. It does not require an entrance ticket and is easily accessible via the tube, it is an easy activity to fit into your itinerary if you want to see something extra in London.

This is such an incredible place. There is no admission fee which frees the visitor from any pressure to ‘see it all’ - which is impossible. There are wonderful volunteers greeting visitors at the entrance foyer who orient you and provide suggestions of where to go (thank you Gloria!). The architecture and history of the building itself is amazing. There is truly something for everyone here.

Vesture for many years, unique attractions, admission free

My favourite museum. Probably has one of the best exhibitions and architecture.

Always a fantastic experience with very helpful and polite staff!

Always beautiful and very interesting, always with new exhibitions, well curated with breathtaking pieces. Free

Enjoyed a Friday late event, great atmosphere

I didn't have time to take pictures and it was boring but not bad

The museum was the best in world I ever seen. I don't remember how long it took me 2trips and 7hrs. Bring water. And Ur food. The displays of glasses pottery ceramics John constable pics and painting old jewellery gold silver.some going bk hundreds of years. So beautiful and breathtaking. Statues. It goes on and on. U can't beat this amazing museum. It was wow. And it's over miles long. The building and marble and structural of this building .and alot of walking. I loved every second of it. Just wonderful 😊

Nice place for visit. High-profile exhibitions and a permanent collection of decorative arts, as well as a design shop and an ornate café. Entrance is free

Beautiful and relax lovely memories

It was interesting. As a Free activity in London make it part of your itinery.

My favourite museum in London, absolutely stunning & so much to see/do, with plenty of space even when it's busy. Lots of hidden gems too! I highly recommend purchasing their guide in the gift shop before you start looking around in order to make the most of your visit!

Four of us OAP's had a great day. So much to see and the food is very good.

From South Kensington station you take a long underground route that takes you directly to the side entrance of the museum. Ideal for rainy or cold days.

Very clean and cool museum, love the pink bathroom. Staff is helpful and the expositions,even if not free are great. Thank you for this experience and the cafe is nice too even If a glass of wine is like 7 quids...

It's a beautiful place to visit with kids

Huge and wonderful museum It has a wonderful indoor garden

A truly worthwhile surreal experience. Set aside a good part of your day because the visit takes a lot of time.

Simple exceptional. One of the world's great museums.

It was my favorite place in all of London

All the miseos in London are free🤩👏

It's a museum with an old-fashioned and beautiful cafe. I think it would be nice to look at it all day.

A fabulous and diverse experience. I spent the day and would returned if I'd had the time

100% recommended if you go to London, beautiful collections from the Middle Ages and the world to see. Free entry without reservations

I like this museum way better than the British museum. They legit moved parts of the ancient sculptures and buildings inside the museum. Very impressive.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Diva Exhibition. Wonderfully curated and ended up dancing to the music! Make sure you get the headphones.

Great museum. Too large for a single visit. So choose what you want to see.

Always a great place to visit, because there is lots to see in a beautiful environment. There are also great places to sit and eat too.

Wow. Tickets are only needed for the special exhibitions.

For me, the best museum in London. Personally, I was able to enter right away without having to wait in a long line, and I could see that it was a really well-maintained place, and I enjoyed seeing various works of art. I really enjoyed my time staying here. In particular, resting in the garden was a relaxing and healing time.

Small but has everything and more!

Wow just wow!!! There are so many rooms and not enough time!! We were there for 2 hours and maybe captured 1/6?? Of the rooms!! There were a lot of interesting rooms but quite difficult to navigate what the next room will be! On one hand it was nice to get a surprise on every corner but if I was looking for something could have been difficult to find it! We didnt have enough time to enjoy the cafe downstairs but it was stunning!!!! Would love to come back again by resting a bit in a cafe and look around again! Having one description per room could be nice as well.

Possibly the museum that I liked the most that I have visited, I recommend going to see it

Cannot believe this is free, such a treasure

It didn't work at all. Some uninteresting exhibits and complicated navigation that contradicts itself in some places.

A lot of history in one place. I would say is my favourite museum in London … every single time I visit it, takes my breath away. It is amazingly big, and one day for sure does not give you the full experience … is a place to come back to

Went to the café as had arrived early for something else. What surroundings! Beautiful place to have a coffee and a cake, pricey but a feast for the eye.

My most favorite museum of London. I have visited many times and still can't get enough of it.

Best part of it was the jewelry section. Breathtaking ✨✨✨✨

A classical art museum especially for sculpture. Contains replicas of famous and beloved sculptures by Michelangelo, Donatello and more. Highly recommended. Don't miss the museum's great cafe

This is a beautiful museum to visit and there is so much to it. There are so many beautiful artifacts, sculptures, paintings and fashion related wonders. It is overwhelming. Unfortunately we did not have enough time. A ticket for any museum in London is highly recommended even if you do not honor the time slot. It saves time. I was fortunate to see the Fragile Beauty exhibit from the collection of Elton John and David Furnish - it was outstanding. (It carries a separate charge) If you are in the area before it ends, I highly recommend it. Their collection is quite amazing. Also be aware that when museums are "free admission" many exhibits inside are an extra fee. Please read the website carefully before you visit. My disappointment in this museum was the fact that there were some items I wanted to view which I did not realize needed a "request to view". I have never seen this at any museum and unfortunately I was not diligent enough looking at the website to realize this. Not knowing, we inquired about a few things and I am sorry to say the attitude was a bit snooty which was not appreciated. When I made the inquiry at the information desk at the museum, however, the gentleman was kind and helpful.

Very beautiful pieces in this free museum, a must-see if you are in London

Good collection of varied subjects, especially of Jewellery and Wrought Iron products.

Incredible place with some of the most gorgeous costume pieces on display. We stayed near the theatre section and that alone was incredible; the star piece had to be an original Rite of Spring costume from the infamous 1913 premiere that caused a riot!

Super nice museum. Really spot of history in it. Impressive work of arts, really really worth to visit. We visited it in Monday and it was not crowded. Nice experience orerall.

The Members cafe was so drab. No colour, grandeur, or even a plant!

I love the Cast Courts and the cafe

A fantastic museum to visit for everyone. It brings back memories of when I began to read a lot of information about the histories of six continents. There is also a reception if I need to know where it takes me. We have a lovely shop with fashion, jewellery and books to purchase as a gift including a busy cafe to have something to eat.

Victoria and Albert Museum - An unforgettable visit! My visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum was a truly interesting and varied experience. This museum is immense, with an extraordinarily rich collection ranging from decorative art to fashion, design to sculpture, offering an insight into human creativity in different eras and cultures. I recommend planning your visit carefully, as it really takes a long time to explore it all. Among the most appreciated things was the possibility of taking a break at the Garden Café, where we had lunch outdoors, thanks to a splendid sunny day. The setting of the internal garden is truly relaxing and offers an excellent choice of food. Another very convenient aspect is the direct access from the tube stop (South Kensington), which makes the museum easily accessible. Among the pieces not to be missed are the galleries dedicated to fabrics and fashion, ancient and modern jewels, and Renaissance sculptures. It also hosts world-class temporary exhibitions, which change regularly. A mandatory stop for art and history lovers!

A wide range of artefacts. Beautiful museum and it's free!

Great museum as so many different types of objects and places covered.

Pre book tickets or book on the door if it is quiet

Always an experience. Iconic. Very good selections and showcasing.

Wonderful museum and it's must visit. need a day to explore all the exhibits properly

Beautiful museum with amazing exhibitions!

There are so many things to see in this museum!

We really went to have a coffee and sit down. It was busy but there are lots of different places to buy food in the cafe area so you don't have to wait long. The food is a little pricey, but with free entry to the museum with just a suggested donation, it all helps the funding. We chose to sit in the cafe area with beautiful ceilings and stained glass windows which was lovely. The Museum itself is large, and we found it easy to get lost despite the signs. We ended up just visiting the Japan and costume sections. Overall, it's a beautiful museum, you could easily spend several hours there.

Beautiful building with some wonderful exhibits. The porcelain collection was a bit overwhelming. They could do more with less. Statuary on the first floor is a must see. The furniture display was also impressive.

Visited 5he Naomi exhibition and it was up to their usual superb standard. The range and quality of the goods on offer in 5he museum shop is wonderful

Exceptional contemporary art and fashion museum. It is recommended you buy tickets for specific exhibits in advance using the website. Children's activities are organised regularly on weekends.

What a great museum! The Cafe, the building, the exhibits, everything is spectacular.

We were at the theatre clothes exhibition snd it was fascinating.

Huge historical museum, you could spend days in here looking around. Many different eras and countries covered. It's easy to get lost with the amount on show. The cafe area is really nice and the decor is worth exploring.

Through centuries of colonialism and wars of conquest, an impressive collection of art from all over the world. Entrance is free, and the exhibits are stunning.

Fantastic museum. We go every time we go to London.

The gasp I let out at seeing the Cast Courts.
