According to the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (Alva), the British Museum was ranked first, with 5.8 million visitors in 2023, up 42 percent year-on-year. The last time the British Museum topped the list was in 2019, Yahoo writes.

Last year's popularity was partly due to the success of the China's Hidden Century exhibition, which ran from May to October.

After the British Museum, the second most visited attraction was the Natural History Museum in West London, which had its best year ever for visits with 5.7 million.

In third place was Windsor Great Park, Berkshire, with 5.5 million visits.
