As soon as you enter the museum, you are surrounded by the most beautiful atmosphere and high glass ceiling. The museum is easy to navigate along with guidance from the help desk on the ground floor. There are many historic sections of the museum, including Ancient Egypt, Africa, Greek and Roman Sculptures, North America, Roman Britain, and Money. 

I've always loved the gift shops at the British Museum. You can buy lovely Swarovski pens, British Museum chocolates, history knowledge books, stationary, novelty items such as key rings and jewellery, British teabags, biscuits, and historic toys. 

Word of advice: try and use the toilet before you leave for the museum, or even use the toilets if you're purchasing something from one of the cafes across the road. The queue for the toilets at the British Museum is beyond ridiculous; I waited 45 minutes to use the toilet, and that was on a weekday. Maybe that's just for the female toilets, however. 

The British Museum is free for all, and is easy to access via various London tube stations, including Russell Square, Tottenham Court Road, and Holborn.
