Museum of the Order of St. John

London is full of free things to do. Shocking is when one of the best free museums I have seen is literally around the corner.
Let me explain.
The other day, with the sun at full blast and all, I decided to wander around Farringdon. I bumped into some friends and then we ended up at the Museum of the Order of St John. You know when people over-use the term 'hidden gem'? Well, this place is a true HIDDEN GEM. No kidding.

The museum tells the story of the Order of St John, from its origins up until the era of St John Ambulance.
There are two galleries full of different artifacts, from both muslim and christian soldiers. A vast collection of ancient coins are on display along with letters from the 1600s.
The second part of the museum is the crypt from the 12th century. I have never seen anything like it.

Go and check it out!!!!!!
