Great Museums in England.

We asked our contributors to name their favourite museums in England. Here are the (unedited) results in no particular order. There does seem to be a strong Roman camp in our team at the moment, so if anyone wants to suggest other museums, please do drop us a line. Also, we could really do with Scots, Welsh and Irish Museum recommendations.

Verulamium Museum, St Albans wonderful roman collection

Roman Baths, Bath as complete a set of roman bathouses as you will find anywhere

Museum of London The city from neolithic times
