The house museum on Lincoln's Inn Fields. Closed Tue–Wed; not also the British Museum if time is short. Next is British Museum — do not also stack the V&A the same day.
Analysis
Sir John Soane's Museum: two wings only. Last entry is about an hour before close (About 10:00–17:00, closed Tuesday and Wednesday). Leave a large case if there is no cloakroom, leave via Holborn, and do not add another large museum the same day.
Best time
Arrive for the booked slot
How to go
About 6 min from Holborn
Transit
Tap contactless or Oyster at Holborn. Last trains sit around midnight. After Sir John Soane's Museum closes, board there — do not cross districts for the last train.
Season window
Spring and autumn are easiest at Sir John Soane's 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: Free, with a timed ticket. Plan about 55 minutes.
- · Photography is mostly forbidden
- · No flash and no tripods inside Sir John Soane's Museum. Drink water before security. Pushchairs follow that day's door notice.
