For example, one afternoon we decided to put off a "must see" visit to V & A museum to the next day, and just walk around the Covent Garden area. We wanted to go into the theater museum in the area, but it was closed that day, so we ended up going into the London Transport Museum.
It ended up being fascinating, with old street cars (horse drawn and electric), buses, tube cars on display, telling the history of transportation in London from the 1800s. There were touch screens, interpretive panels, etc. One section about how they dug out the underground (very dangerous work) was very interesting.
