Natural History Museum
A place full of historically significant curiosities to enthral its visitors.
A short journey from our five-star hotel
When it comes to choosing a hotel near the Natural History Museum, few options provide both the luxuriousness and convenience of The Egerton House Hotel. Located less than a ten-minute walk from us, and within close proximity to both the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum is full of curiosities to fascinate visitors of all ages: specimens collected by Charles Darwin and the Attenborough Studio are two of the most notable examples.
