Right, addresses confirmed. I know the British Museum postcode by heart and the Tate Modern turbine hall like the back of my hand \u2014 that's not this list. This is the stuff I drag mates to when they think a museum day is just the V&A gift shop. Horniman on a Sunday after a match beats any away day. Bring layers, some of these rooms are colder than a January morning at the Rec.

Terrains de football amateur — 9 items
Name	Comment	Address	City
1Sir John Soane's Museum	Free, mental, and stuffed with more sarcophagi than any Georgian house has a right to. Book ahead or queue like it's a big cup tie.	13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3BP	London
2Museum of the Home	Period living rooms that make your own flat look like a crime scene. Gardens are lovely, café does a decent flat white.	136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA	London
3Horniman Museum and Gardens	Walrus is overstuffed, aquarium's ace, and the view over the gardens beats most pitches I've played on.	100 London Road, Forest Hill, London SE23 3PQ	London
4British Library	Technically a library, but the Treasures gallery is proper museum territory. Magna Carta next to a Beatles lyric sheet, no notes.	96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB	London
5Tate Modern	Turbine Hall makes you feel small in a good way. Bit like getting outpaced by a winger half your age.	Bankside, London SE1 9TG	London
6Design Museum	Sleek building, sleeker chairs. Free permanent collection upstairs if you're skint after away-day pints.	224-238 Kensington High Street, London W8 6AG	London
7Natural History Museum	Dino skeleton's moved about more than our back four. Still worth the crowds if you time it right, early doors.	Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD	London
8Museum of London Docklands	Old sugar warehouse full of proper East End shipping history. Quieter than the big-name spots, which suits me fine.	West India Quay, 1 Warehouse, London E14 4AL	London
9Whitechapel Gallery	Not strictly a museum but I'm including it anyway, it's my list. Cracking contemporary shows, five minutes from a decent curry.	77-82 Whitechapel High Street, London E1 7QX	London
