British Museum The British Museum is a museum in London dedicated to human history and culture. Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works,[3] is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence[3] and originates from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present.[a] The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. Until 1997, when the British Library (previously centred on the Round Reading Room) moved to a new site, the British Museum housed both a national museum of antiquities and a national library in the same building. History[edit] Sir Hans Sloane, founder of the British Museum[edit] Although today principally a museum of cultural art objects and antiquities, the British Museum was founded as a "universal museum".

The British Museum › Welcome to the British Museum Price Guide and Tipping Tipping is appreciated but not always appropriate in London. There are some situations where it is customary, for example in restaurants. Here are a few guidelines, although ultimately tips (or gratuities) are discretionary and depend on the quality of the service you receive. Tipping in London's Restaurants It is customary to leave 10-15% of the bill when eating out. Top tip: Although restaurants (and other businesses) should make their policy clear, it's worth checking with your waiter that he/she will personally receive your tip rather than the company – particularly if you're paying by credit card. Tipping in Bars and Pubs People generally do not tip in pubs in London. Tipping in Hotels in London Like restaurants, most London hotel bills include a service charge, usually 10-12%. Tipping Taxi Drivers It is polite to tip 10-15% of the taxi fare for black cabs and licensed minicabs in London. Read about British currency
