Twist Museum is an interactive illusion museum on Oxford Street, made up of connected zones exploring how we see and perceive the world through science and art. You can take part in hands-on, immersive exhibits designed to challenge your senses and spark discussion about perception and reality. It's a fun, educational outing well suited to families, recommended for children aged six and up. The museum sits in Westminster, with Bond Street station just 0.2 miles away for easy access, and The Serpentine in Hyde Park 1.3 miles off if you fancy a walk afterwards. With 783 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's a convenient addition to a central London visit.
