Try the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. They are next door to each other.

The newly refurbished London Transport Museum in Covent Garden is well worth a visit.

V+A and Geological in the same area too - if you go to the Natural History, have a look at the actual building, it is fantastic both inside and out(It was funded by the Great Exhibition profits, just like the Dome did in our era....) Not a museum but the London Aquarium is very good, right next to the Eye.

I did that as well

There is a really good Cold War exhibition on in the V&A at the moment, well worth a look if you find that period of recent history interesting.

(It's across the road from the Natural History and Science Museums).

Apart from the Science and Nat Hist Museums you also have:-
The Victoria and Albert
The museum of London
Transport museum
Museum of Cinematography

Went to one I didn't know about today and that was the V&A museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green. I'm not that old, but to see toys that I used to own in a museum made me feel it.

I found the London Fire Brigade Museum was interesting when I went. It is currently under threat of closure so may not be around for too much longer.

Winchester House
94A Southwark Bridge Road
London
SE1 0EG
Telephone: [phone]
Fax: [phone]

It is by appointment only Mon-Fri

By road: Turn left out of station down Marshallsea Road. At the end turn left and directly in front is the museum.


"One of the area's lesser known attractions, the LFBM tells the history of firefighting since 1666. See old fire appliances and other equipment, and there's a chance of seeing recruits in training at the adjacent centre.

The museum is housed in the former residence of Captain Sir Eyre Massey Shaw, Superintendent of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

It was the Fire Brigade HQ until 1937 when George V opened the new building on Albert Embankment, at the other end of SE1. London's fire HQ moved back to Southwark in 2007 when new offices opened on Union Street."
