Hello Lee;
For two days, I think:
1- British Museum is a must.
2 -Contemporary Ceramics (7 Marshall Street W1)- yes!
3- V & A ; The modernist show is a Spring blockbuster,
they claim. Although you don't like Bauhaus.
4 -National Gallery is very good for paintings.
Other ceramics venus:
5-Barrett Marsden Gallery (www.bmgallery.co.uk)
6-Galerie Besson (www.galeriebesson.co.uk)
7 -Percival David Foundation. 53 Gordon Sq. WC1
Jun-Dec: Ming Colours: Polychrome Porcelain from
Jingdexhen

After a brisk walk through St. James's Park and the
adjacent Green Park, we used our travelcards to pick
up one of only two Routemaster Heritage buses still

Paul's Cathedral, Royal Albert Hall, Fleet Street and
Trafalgar Square. Take the No. 9 or 15, but make sure
it is marked "Heritage." What's more, it is much
cheaper than the commercial hop-on-hop-off Big Bus in
London, which costs £20 per adult and £10 per child
per day. [...]
