Sir John Soane's Museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields WC2A 3BP (tube: Holborn), ☎ +44 20 7440 4263, [7]. Tu-Sa 10:00-17:00. The former home of architect Sir John Soane, the building has been converted into a museum, displaying some of the objects he collected during his lifetime, including the alabaster sarcophagus of Seti I, and paintings by artists including William Hogarth. There is a display of some of Soane's architectural plans on the upper floor. Be sure to wait in the picture room until the guides open the walls up to reveal further paintings behind. The museum is a little-known tourist attraction, but well worth a visit. Admission free (but you're encouraged to leave a donation).
