British Museum

Although I visited the British Museum when I was here about 10 years ago, I decided to return today when another museum I struck out for was closed. Their Assyrian collections are amazing! I had a chance to see those again, as well as visit some halls I missed last time. Before I got to the museum I ran into Harrods (department store). I popped in, but it was packed. I didn't linger there long...
