We stayed at Holborn very close to the British Museum and very close to the West End all walking distance, also some very good eateries in the area to suit all budgets. The tube is so good it will get you to any other museum you require in pretty quick time. But if you’re into museums you will need to allow plenty of time for the British Museum.

You will need at least one hour for the Nero exhibit. I spent two hours there since I like to read all of the exhibit labels. You can visit the rest of the museum at any time. Since the Nero exhibit is closing soon, it may be very popular in its last week. Once inside, you can visit any exhibits you wish, except for the special exhibits that require paid tickets.
