There is useful information about hours and prices, contact numbers, the nearest tube station, etc. There are also brief descriptions of other museums in London. Entries are cross-referenced with a "people" index and sidebars testing historical knowledge. Kettler and Trimble are avid amateur medieval historians and travelers.
