The west end of Kensington High Street. Not also the V&A the same day. Next is Holland Park — do not also stack the V&A the same day.
Analysis
Design Museum: two wings only. Last entry is about an hour before close (About 10:00–17:00 or 18:00; check the site). Leave a large case if there is no cloakroom, leave via High Street Kensington, and do not add another large museum the same day.
Best time
Afternoon
How to go
About 8 min from High Street Kensington
Transit
Tap contactless or Oyster at High Street Kensington. Last trains sit around midnight. After Design Museum closes, board there — do not cross districts for the last train.
Season window
Spring and autumn are easiest at Design Museum. Summer atriums and weekend crowds stack; in winter put the indoor rooms first, and do not count an outdoor court on a wet day.
Tips
- · Tickets: Mid: adult tickets on the official site — do not freeze a guide number. Plan about 60 minutes.
- · The permanent display and the temporary show are different tickets
- · No flash and no tripods inside Design Museum. Drink water before security. Pushchairs follow that day's door notice.
