Victorian era tea trader and philanthropist Frederick John Horniman began collecting objects and artefacts from around the world in 1860. The result is the Horniman Museum and Gardens, a hidden gem in South London, which includes a massive collection of music instruments, Asian art and a quirky natural-history selection. There is also an aquarium, a small farm and a 16-acre garden with some great city views. 020 8699 1872
