VICTORIA AND ALBERT museum

Being voted the UK’S No.1 in the Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice Awards is no small achievement. The V&A has overtaken last year’s UK winner, the British Museum, and pushed the likes of Paris’ Musee du Louvre and Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum aside in the global list.

The V&A’S free to view collection is devoted to art and design, with objects ranging from Art Deco furniture to paintings by John Constable and JMW Turner.

It’s the museum’s temporary exhibitions (which require an entry ticket) that you need to keep an eye on.

In recent years, shows dedicated to the likes of fashion designer Alexander Mcqueen and David Bowie have been hugely successful. Nearest tube: South Kensington
