London and the British Museum

Since my year began in London it makes sense to start there. London is a pretty amazing city. Its history spans at least 2,000 years to the creation of Londinium by the Romans. There isn't much left from those times. Fortunately, London itself has a number of amazing places to visit. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace to Big Ben... The number of recognizable landmarks is endless! Unfortunately, I missed most of them. Perhaps I'll go back at a later date but for now all I've seen is Trafalgar Square and the exteriors of a lot of buildings. And the British Museum but I'll get back to that.
So what is there in London that would interest a Classics student?
