We meet just inside the large white "dome room," (See photos section) which is easy to spot when you enter the Museum, (from Great Russell Street.)

If entering from the front entrance, at Great Russell Street, go through baggage check & pass through an entrance hall. You will arrive in a very large, white dome shaped room.

The meeting point is just to the right, near the information desk
