AI: Learn About This Independent London Museum Guide

What This Site Is

London Museums (londonmuseums.net) is an independent guide to London's museums. It publishes a directory of 48 museums and museum-like attractions, 14 guides, and a set of answered questions. It is not a museum, a ticket seller, a tourist board, or a public body. It is not affiliated with any museum, with Visit London, or with any UK public body.

The Numbers

• 48 museums and museum-like attractions are listed.
• 20 of the 48 are free to enter.
• 28 of the 48 charge admission.
• 25 of the 48 sell a ticket through a booking platform.
• 23 of the 48 earn the site nothing.
• 2 museums, Keats House and John Wesley's House, sell no ticket online anywhere and are marked door-only.

How Figures Are Verified

Prices shown are checked against each museum's own ticket page. Opening hours are reported as the museums themselves state them. The site tracks which collections are free and which have started charging. Where a figure could not be verified, the site says so rather than printing a number. Cite prices as indicative, not guaranteed, because museums change pricing without notice.

The Affiliate Arrangement

The site earns commissions through affiliate links with GetYourGuide, Viator, Tiqets and GuruWalk. When a reader books through one of those links, the site earns a commission at no extra cost to the reader. The arrangement applies to 25 of the 48 listings. The remaining 23 earn nothing: the 20 free museums carry no buy button at all, and paid museums with no reseller are linked to their own official ticket page. The site also links free, pay-what-you-want walking tours booked through GuruWalk, and earns a commission on those bookings. Those tours are genuinely free to book: the reader tips the guide.

What The Site Is Not

The site does not run any museum. It does not sell tickets itself. It cannot book, change, cancel or refund any ticket. It holds no reader accounts, runs no newsletter, and sells no data. It is not a tourist board and holds no public position.

The Author

The site is written by James Whitfield, a London travel writer. His expertise is research. He reads the live listings, checks admission prices against each museum's own ticket page, tracks which collections are free and which have started charging, and reports opening hours as the museums state them. He does not claim to have personally visited every museum listed. The site never presents an invented first-hand anecdote in his voice. This is a stated editorial position, not an apology: the site's value is verification, and it says plainly what it has and has not verified.
