    Hi, Jess, I've lived near London all my life and I've never heard of any of them. Very interesting. You produce excellent, informative videos. Looking forward to your next video soon

    The Foundling Museum near Russell Square is free and interesting. Sir Soane's museum is also free and amazing, it's like a mini British museum with some paintings. They do free tours everyday and they have monthly candlelight evenings. The fan museum is also interesting, but it's in SE1 I think near the Tower Bridge.

      The Fan Museum is in Greenwich, London SE10.

    Lovely video, Jess! I've never heard of any of these museums before and now I'm intrigued to visit all of them. 😀 Another example of a lesser-known museum (I think it's not famous) is the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology in the premises of University College London. If you are into Archaeology it's really worth a visit. It's quite small but I enjoyed my visit very much. 😄

    I don't know if it still exists but in 1990 we happened upon a small mechanical museum. It was full of mechanical toys that you could put a coin in to see them work. My favorite was the mechanical podiatrist. I had to take off my shoe and put it in the machine. The "podiatrist" mechanical robot examined my foot and gave me a diagnosis! It was one of the coolest places I have ever been. I was in London in 2019 but did not get a chance to look for it.
    I think you would call them clockwork machines. It was the best place I visited on that trip!

    I wish you had done this video a year ago! Very interesting and informative.
    If you are visiting Leighton House, know that photography & videotaping are not permitted. (This practically killed me, because the house is incredibly beautiful inside. You are permitted to take photos outside, though.) There are security cameras everywhere, and the staff have a big monitor at the desk that they keep their eye on.
