Tower of London
The city's former fortress is a much more friendly place these days, but the Tower's Beefeaters will be happy to tell you about its dark past. Plenty of human misery, but genuinely fascinating tales.

The National Gallery
Surely one of the world's best art collections, the National Gallery has pieces from Van Gogh, Rembrandt, da Vinci and more. Consider visiting in two trips, as the building is so huge that you'll experience art burnout!

Imperial War Museum
Dedicated to recording instances of war since World War I, the IWM certainly doesn't shy away from showing you the human cost and misery of armed conflict. The Holocaust exhibition is particularly affecting, and not suitable for children.
