The Cartoon Museum

cartoon_museum-place-of-interest-london

Obviously Bloomsbury is home to the British Museum, which has the largest and most comprehensive permanent collection in existence and tells the entire history of everything ever. It’s free – as are all big museums in the UK – and is worth it. But if you can’t be bothered to spend a day glaring at stolen colonial plunder then head to something a bit more manageable, like the tiny Cartoon Museum round the corner. It’ll introduce you to a very British tradition of cartooning, from political satire (Private Eye) through scatological nonsense (Viz) to graphic novels (Alan Moore’s V For Vendetta).
