My first museum was Horniman's....and it was quite difficult to draw there as the galleries are very dark,but its a nice versetail collection and anyone can find something for themself. 
The next attempt was Museum of Childhood. The nice part is that is close to where I live and they have carpets..The kids around do not bother me as they can become a good motivators of your art. 
The last place was V&A. Oh...how I love this place. It's fairly empty in comparison to any other tourist distenation in London and like Horniman has a colection that consist of everything. I have choosen the sculpture gallery as I find it challenging to draw humans. Now. It looks like I've enjoyed this the most and now have a task to play around my sketchbook to create more filled composition of its white pages. So what I did first was to look at some sketchbooks like one of my favorite street art guy's Blu. Even his drawings are animated. Simple clear lines create a whole narratives out of the white nothingness. Another one with a bit different character is Sam Vanallemeersch's sketchbook available on Flicker. He fill's out every and any free space of the page makeing you wonder what happens beyond the edge. However the uncoloured spaces of his illustrations give a sense of freedon and suprise. Almost like cartoonist he comments and tells the stories of his observations.So. Am I able to develop my style like these two? You bet I will try! My very own sketchbook full of convincing pages which you can't stop flicking until you see the end...nice))
Aaaa...and something what my illustrator friend tiped me about: drawing tutorials on-line. Some of you may find it useful. I do.
