Museum of Illusions London is an interactive optical-illusion museum in the heart of London, home to more than 70 hands-on exhibits including vortex tunnels, infinity rooms, walk-in kaleidoscopes and mind-bending perspective rooms. Friendly guides in every room help you capture the perfect illusion photos, making it a brilliant family day out and one of the best rainy-day activities in central London. Situated at 15-17 Tottenham Court Road (W1T), the museum offers timed-entry sessions that should be booked online in advance, with regular admission from £21.
