South Kensington
If you only had a day in London, South Kensington would be the one destination to get your cultural fix. The trinity of the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum makes this neighbourhood the perfect single stop. And each of these museums offers a superbly curated look at the subjects of natural history, science, and the decorative arts respectively. The Victoria and Albert Museum in particular has become synonymous with housing a rich historical permanent collection alongside cutting-edge large-scale shows such as Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.
