First of all I would check the Natural History Museum in London. They have a Mammoth skeleton hidden behind a Whale in the mammals section. They also have sabre tooth (Smilodon) somewhere around.

The second best address, would be the “Muséum national d’Histoire Naturelle” in Paris. It has a HUGE hall full of skeletons, with several Mammoth models.

There are at least 2 complete Mammoth Skeleton in the back of the hall:

Then there is the “Naturhistorische Museum” in Vienna, Austria (Museum for nature history). It has a quite extensive collection of complete skeletons. They do not seem to have a Mammoth skeleton in particular but instead a model of a complete animal, with fur etc.

Here is the similodon skeleton from there:

Looks like a french winery acquired a Mammoth skeleton to attract customers.

This is the Cave des Vignerons – Histoire Naturelle. It is located in South of France, near Nîmes.

While someone finds one closer to London, the La Brea Tar Pits museum in Los Angeles have awesome and quite complete skeletons. As you may infer from the name, in this area tar pits have caused animals that sank into them to remain remarkably intact. The museum is near La Brea road which means tar and excavations for more remains are ongoing.
