London's Natural History Museum Breaks Visitor Records
The Natural History Museum in London tops the UK attraction list, welcoming a record 7.1 million visitors in 2025 thanks to new exhibits and free entry.
London's Natural History Museum (NHM) was the most popular attraction in the UK during 2025, with its newly renovated gardens, cutting-edge climate gallery, and lack of entry fee leading to a record-breaking number of visitors.
More than 7.1 million people passed through the museum's doors, a 13% increase in visitors year over year and an all-time high for any UK museum or gallery. This impressive achievement defies the drop in visitor numbers seen at other attractions, which experts attribute to the rising cost of living and a decline in international tourists.
The museum's impressive visitor figures can be attributed to a range of factors, including its status as a renowned center of scientific research and education, as well as its ability to captivate and inspire audiences of all ages. The new climate gallery, in particular, has proven to be a major draw, offering visitors an immersive and thought-provoking exploration of the pressing environmental challenges facing our planet.
