British Museum Friday Late – VIP, Small Group Guaranteed

THE FRIDAY LATES – HERE’S THE SCHEDULE FOR BOTH OF THEM

Then scroll down for full particulars about The British Museum Friday Night Late.

Evening explorations of The National Portrait Gallery and The British Museum 

Small group tours 

6 pm – 8 pm

These atmospheric new Friday Evening Lates are the perfect way to ease yourself into the Autumn! They’re a class act whichever way you turn them. What’s not to like about an exploration of the brilliantly refurbished National Portrait Gallery that turns portraits into people? What’s not to like about an intimate highlights tour of the world’s greatest treasure chest (the British Museum) when the madding crowd has vanished and the soft evening light imparts an almost candle-lit mood? What’s not to like about a tour guided by the crème de la crème – the best in the business? Award-winning Karen, Fiona, Simon and Marc are the London dream team of elite, expert Blue Badge Guides.

There’s something rather delicious about touring a gallery or museum as evening falls and the crowds begin to disperse. Both the National Portrait Gallery and The British Museum open late on a Friday…so come and join us on one of these exclusive small group tours.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM FRIDAY LATE TOUR

Ahhhhh…The British Museum. The world’s cultural Aladdin’s Cave. Immerse yourself in 5,000 years of ancient history on this twilit, highlights tour of the most celebrated treasure house in the solar system. 

There’s an uncanny quality to the glass-covered Great Court as dusk settles over London. Something magic and profound in the hush of the recently re-opened Round Reading Room haunted by the lucubrations of the great thinkers and authors who have researched and written there. G-7 for starters. 

Founded in 1753, by a magpie of a collector, Sir Hans Sloane, the collection grew and grew with artefacts from every corner of the globe representing every culture and country that has ever existed…. I

It’s impressive, it’s overwhelming and it’s seen best – understood best – with an expert who will cherrypick the highlights for you as you travel back to Ancient Greece, Egypt, Assyria and points beyond. 

As the evenings draw in these atmospheric new Friday Lates for London Walks are the perfect way to ease yourself into the Autumn!

For the British Museum Friday Night Late meet your guide outside Russell Square Underground Station at 6 pm. Our scene setter is the short stroll across historic, verdurous Russell Square to the group entrance of The British Museum.
