If you want to see weapons and armour, this is the place to come. There is a nice selection of things to look at, and best of all, it is not crowded like many other museums.

Really easy to get to, took a bus from Trafalgar Square ( #13 ) and got off at Gloucester place , near the George street intersection. A 5 min walk along George street , turn right on Manchester Street and you see the board directing you to the front entrance . I was given a free floorplan to get started.... More

The Wallace collection is an excellent museum and bistro style café in the heart of London. A fascinating collection of historic artefacts and some really good artwork make this a really interesting place to visit. Moreover, the bistro/restaurant is excellent!

If you are in London and want to visit something not too touristic, I would definitively recommend the Wallace collection, hidden just behind Bond Street and Marble Arch.

I like the Wallace collection for its organized format travelling room to room, you did not get weighed down with data but saw the unusual , I really liked the armor collection, quite unique.
