Check today’s opening first
The Petrie and Grant currently open Tuesday–Saturday, 13:00–17:00. Pick one. This plan does not fit a morning, Sunday or Monday visit.
Walk to your chosen collection
From Great Russell Street, allow roughly 10–15 minutes to reach the Petrie via Gower Street and Malet Place. The Grant is farther north on University Street; allow additional time if choosing it.
Take time with a few objects
Allow about 30–35 minutes in the collection, then leave 10–15 minutes to exit and continue your journey. Reduce the museum time if your approach takes longer.

Would you rather follow an audio Walk?
Love, Lies & Literature is listed at 68 minutes; Scandals of Russell Square at 76 minutes. Neither is a 30-minute or one-hour add-on. Allow extra time for reaching the start and pauses.
