Being a designer by trade, I'm somewhat biased of this lovely museum. Not only is the design and layout super trendy but it's one of the few places that has exhibitions that focus on print and interactive design.
It's also in a beautiful location, nestled in Shad Thames near some great restaurants and with views of the Tower Bridge. Ideal for impressing a date ;)
Membership is quite cheap, especially for those under 26 (sadly not me anymore). If you sign up to pay by direct debit, it only costs £15 to get in with a guest for a whole year plus you get to go to the members only openings! Bargain!
