Cartoon Museum
This humble but interesting museum is located in the shadow of the British Museum.
While its three rooms are filled with British cartoons unknown to most Americans,
the satirical takeoffs on famous bigwigs and politicians—including Napoleon, Margaret
Thatcher, the Queen, and Tony Blair—show the power of parody to deliver social com-
mentary. Upstairs are panels of well-known comics that will interest only diehard fans.

Street—go one block south of the British Museum on Museum Street and turn right, Tube:
