It was completely deserted, which is a shame as whilst small in size is high interesting in what it teaches you. If you're in the area definitely worth popping in for a few minutes. · via Google [D.A.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104306650798958091665/reviews) ★★★★★ It was interesting and informative. I don't really know what constitutes a Museum; however, I thought the name was a bit misleading - as the space is very small and is basically a room joined to the library. · via Google [Natalie Golding](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116323270333161537333/reviews) ★★★★★ Not quite a museum, more of a mildly diverting room full of teeth (real, porcelain and ivory) and some antique dental instruments. Unsurprisingly, given it's located in the British Dental Association building, the main focus is the life and work of the founder of the BDA. Although tiny, it might have earned a 4th star if there were slightly more focus on the experience of dental patients, not just practitioners, and if the room and exhibits were more ordered (the day I visited, some exhibits were out of place on top of the cabinets, obscuring the displays). That said, the staff were very obliging and nice enough to let me have a look around even though the museum is apparently usually only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays. · via Google [Hanna Grzesiak](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101112902979021433051/reviews) ★★★★★ Small but great museum. One of the best I have seen in London. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48761ad3bc2fe1cd:0xb09aa09b7513deb!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 64 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 8YS [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.5185108%2C-0.1487528) **Category** Museums & Galleries **Guest rating** 4.2 / 5 (12 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Suggested visit** 1-2 hours **Setting** Indoor **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** London [More attractions in London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/attractions) ★ 4.2 (12 reviews) [Visit official website](https://bda.org/museum?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [020 7563 4549](tel:02075634549) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** London **Postcode** W1G 8YS **Plus Code** 9C3XGV92+CF [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x48761ad3bc2fe1cd:0xb09aa09b7513deb!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48761ad3bc2fe1cd:0xb09aa09b7513deb!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48761ad3bc2fe1cd:0xb09aa09b7513deb!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near London Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
