Oh im from Australia if that helps as all.

And im a bit of a history nerd. I love museams etc too!

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Definitely go to London! There's lots to do there, including a ton of museums. There's the British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, the Tower of London, the list goes on. Since you like history, you should also check out Stonehenge. I also really liked Bath, but the only thing to do there is visit the Roman baths.

yer u can't go to the UK without going to london!
ummm it reli depends when u are going, because cornwall is just stunning (south west of UK), but in the summer, it gets packed with tourists, and prices rise on everything, but off-season its gorgeous!!!!
if u want museums, london is definately your best bet it has incredible ones.
Ohhh and whilst you're in london a few other things to see: the royal albert hall, oxford street, you can't go there without walking through hyde park its gorgeous ohh and tower of london of course :)

London is great just to get the feel of the place, its such a buzz ;) If you like museums the Natural History Museum is good, as is the science museum. The British museum in my opinion is a bit boring, but im not really a museum person so you may like it, although I would seriosuly advise against the Victoria and Albert. Maybe go on the london eye, altho it takes 45 mins, its great for sight seeing
