An hour to kill at… the V&A – London

February 10, 2014

I just spent a lovely weekend in London, attending Pure London (more on that later in the week). I found myself with some free time on Saturday and decided to stop by at the V&A. There’s always someting interesting to see, not to mention that the Museum is so big, I haven’t had the chance to see it all. So that’s what I did.

When you go in, you have a suggested donation for £3.00 but you don’t have to pay if you can’t afford it. Even if you did pay, a £3.00 ticket is a pretty good price for a place where you can spend the whole day… to me this is a perfect budget day out in London. I wandered around aimlessly, it was a good experience because you end up being surprised. I hope you enjoy the little things that caught my eye.

15th century love token jewelry. Some things never change, isn’t it?

Iranian tiles.

And then I was kicked out. Next time I find myself in London with nothing to do, I am definitely going back.
