How to get to the British Museum?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Hello,

I have to go to The British Museum, Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3DG this week but it looks very complicated to get to .

Which is the quickest way to get there minus using the tube?

Thanking you in advance .

You could get the train to St Pancras and walk ....

Get a 176

With a buggy I've done the St Pancras and walking route - its not too far and its a nice walk. Otherwise the 176 is fine if you are happy to sit on the bus for around 1 hr - which if you take into account walking between train and tube connections etc isn't too bad.

Thank you all very much , how long is the walk as I will have my child plus two older relatives walking as well so I don't want to tire them out ?

Have you tried the Citymapper app or website? It's very good at answering these kinds of questions...

[goldilocks]

ok - its a bit of a walk - I'd recommend the 176 in that case depending on where you are. Would also agree that City Mapper is good for options re changing busses too.

Never heard of city mapper. I'll download it and check it out , thanks for the tip .

Looks like the 176 it is . Thanks all, much appreciated :)

yes, 68 or 168 or 188 are better than 176 - they avoid the Strand/Charing X Road, so they are quicker to the BM

all can be got from the Elephant if not Camberwell

The 171 bus is also a good option. It's about a 5 minute walk from the final stop (Holborn) to the British Museum. My parents just did it and the walking distance was fine.
