0: Yes, London has some world-class museums and of course they're fine to visit

4: but if you're like me you probably are looking for some more perky museums

7: key places to visit while you're here.

9: So, I'm going to tell you about some of the best museums to visit in London that you've never heard of

16: (upbeat music)

21: (people chattering)

25: Hidden away in Lancaster Court just off of Oxford Street is the Handel and Hendrix Museum

31: and if that seems a little bit random it's actually not.

34: In the 1700s, the music composer, Handel, lived at 23 Brook Street and Jimi Hendrix in the 60s lived at

42: 25 Brook Street, so to celebrate both of these huge influences on music in the UK

48: they have combined the two places together to make the Handel and Hendrix Museum.

52: If you go inside, you'll learn a lot about both musicians as well as get to walk through Handel's

59: recreation of his house and also get to see a recreation of Hendrix's room when he lived here as well.

64: (soft sounds & music)

72: If you're into fashion and design I recommend visiting the Fashion and Textile Museum in Bermondsey.

76: It was founded by the iconic British designer Zandra Rhodes and there are no permanent exhibitions here.

83: They change them out every few weeks so you can actually come to visit multiple times

86: and you'll see completely different exhibitions.

89: They also put on workshops and classes so you should check their website

93: for your travel dates to see if there's anything that you'd like to attend.

95: (soft music)

102: (laughing)

103: Friends, Peruvian friends.

105: (beep)

106: So the exhibition that they have on right now is about how Peru has influenced fashion and textile

111: (soft music)

122: The Museum of Brands and Packaging might sound like it could be a little bit dull, but it's actually super interesting.

129: So when you come in, you take a walk through their tunnel of time where you learn all about British history

136: but in a really unique way by seeing the types of design packaging.

141: You learn about pop culture.

143: How people dressed during these different eras and it's actually really interesting.

148: Plus they have an award-winning cafe and garden that you can visit once you're done browsing.

152: (soft music)

160: Every time that there's a big royal event in British history

164: brands always put out these like special memorabilia pieces of

169: these like cake tins and different products and things like that

173: and you can see a bunch of those from the last century in this museum.

178: For example, this is a bunch of examples of those from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1951

184: No, 1953, she was coordinated in '53.

186: (soft music)

194: Gardens are a huge point of pride in the UK and have been for centuries

199: and we are in the Garden Museum here in Lambeth.

202: This garden museum was actually created in 1977

206: in an effort to save the church where John Tradescant is buried

211: and he was Britain's first plant hunter and most famous gardener.

217: So his tomb is actually still here in the Sackler Garden, which is just behind me.

221: When we come into the museum and there's tons of history about gardening throughout the centuries.

226: There's loads to see.

228: It's also very kid-friendly and when you're done exploring you can go and have something to eat at the garden cafe.

233: (soft music)

240: This is Leighton House Museum in Holland Park

242: and this is the former home of very famous painter from 1800's named Leighton

248: and the house itself is absolutely stunning

251: but inside there is also a very impressive collection of artworks by Leighton

257: but also by his contemporaries, so it's definitely worth a visit.

262: (soft music)

268: Your ticket price includes a tour of the museum, but you can also have a free walking tour of the neighborhood

274: where you'll get to see some other famous artists houses as well.

277: (soft music)

283: If you're interested in buildings and architecture, then you should definitely stop in to the NLA.

288: They do workshops and talks so you can see if there's anything happening that might interest you when you're visiting London

294: but in the leaves you should come in and see the London model

298: and it is a small-scale, 3D-printed model of the city of London and it shows you both

303: buildings that already exist as well as ones that are being completed

307: or are going to be completed in the future

309: so you see a very futuristic version of what the London skyline will look like.

313: (soft music)

319: Its awesome interactive digital map that shows you a bunch of different data points about the city of London

324: including the average housing prices in each borough

326: the amount of air pollution that's happening

329: and also where all of the listed buildings are throughout the city.
