booksandquills | Visiting My Favourite London Museums. @booksandquills | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 20 minutes ago.
Visiting London for the first time or just need something fun to do on the weekends? I'm a huge museum lover and wanted to share some of my favourite museums locations to wander around for a few hours or maybe take yourself on a drawing date!
This video contains some press trips that included free museum tickets and tours: Science Museum, Natural History Museum, Van Gogh Exhibit at Tate Britain and Guildhall Art Gallery. Thanks to the teams at the museums for inviting me! The invites were for review purposes, but with no specific requirement for me to share them.
Museums mentioned:
Science Museum (The Sun exhibit is no longer running)
V&A
Natural History Museum + behind the scenes tour
Wallace Collection
Tate Britain + Van Gogh Exhibit (currently running)
Guildhall Art Gallery
Dulwich Picture Gallery

• Can you review my book?
I’m always happy to hear about upcoming books, but I’m afraid I don’t review self-published books and can only accept a small number of books for review. I enjoy reading classics, dystopian/apocalyptic novels, sci-fi, translated fiction and a variety of graphic novels, YA and contemporary literary fiction.
• Where is your accent from?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands, studied English Lit at Leiden University (also in the Netherlands), studied in the US for 3 months and have lots of American friends. I'm definitely not Irish or Canadian, I promise!
• Where do you live?
I live in London and have been here for 6 years now.
• How did you get into publishing?
I did publishing work experience, did a lot of networking and learned everything I know about social media from creating and running this channel. (P.s. You don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing!).
