It houses an extensive collection of native ...  Read the complete review

When going to London for a visit you've got to go to the Natural History Museum, it's the law. Well maybe not law, but you'd be silly not to when it's free and a great resource. You go into this building and are now frisked by security making sure you're not a terrorist I'd imagine. When you get in though what a place, first off ...  Read the complete review

We visited the Natural History Museum on Saturday with our three children, aged 7, 4, and 15 months. We were exhausted by the end of the day but they had a great time. ---Getting There--- South Kensington underground station is the closest but doesn't have step-free access. So dh carried the pram and held onto one child while I ...  Read the complete review

The Natural History Museum is located on Cromwell Road in London and is near to the South Kensington tube station. We visited the museum via the tube station and there is an underground subway which takes you almost to the museum and then you only have a 2 minute walk to the door. Which was great for us as the day we visited it was pouring with ...  Read the complete review

When myself and my husband visited London last year, we had on our agenda to spend a morning at the Natural History Museum.. but ended up staying all day. The museum is an amazing, massive building, with a huge queue outside. As the museum is free to get in (although a donation can be given) alot of people wish to visit so queues are long. ...  Read the complete review

Had a few hours to spare when in London for a few days last week so decided to spend some time here as it was the next tube station from Harrods. We were not dissapointed. Although as with most places when it is the middle of August it was fairly busy, the only area that you noticed it in was the dinosaurs. There was a 30 min wait when we ...  Read the complete review

So I spent most of the summer visiting the tourist attractions in London , showing them all the landmarks , restaurants and all the other beautiful attractions that London has to offer. However , despite all the ...  Read the complete review

When I was in London for the weekend I really could not resist taking a trip to the natural history museum. It is one of those places that I have always wanted to visit and my fiancé and sister felt the same way. So off we went on the tube to find out where it actually was and we had a great afternoon there. Plus considering it is free to get ...  Read the complete review

I was delighted to find out that National History Museum (as well as Science museum) became completely free of charge some time between 1992 when I last visited and now. As soon as my daughter was big enough to say dinosaur I took here there on one of our day London trips and we spent about 2.5 hours wandering about the collections. ...  Read the complete review

The Natural History Museum. London. England Situated in the South Kensington area of London, the Great attraction is so packed full of information, artefacts, and attractions, that one day is never enough. The best thing about the Museum is it’s free to enter, although some temporary exhibits do require a fee on ...  Read the complete review

As the summer holidays get into full swing, my house becomes full of crotchety, bored children, who are desperate to go on day trips. Now personally, while venues such as theme parks and the seafront are fun, I prefer to take them places where they'll learn something at the same time as having that fun. I therefore like to take them to such places ...  Read the complete review

Where is it? It stretches regally (and rather extensively) along Cromwell Road in one of London’s more salubrious manors. How do I get there? It’s just a short and pleasant stroll from South Kensington tube station and the plethora of signs will ensure you don’t get lost en route. Alternatively a million and one buses ...  Read the complete review

(The domestic background is vaguely relevant, honest. Bear with me). My eldest daughter is four-and-a-half. (Blonde, blue-eyed, heartbreakingly gorgeous....what else would you expect her Daddy to say ?). A couple of months ago I took her to visit Grandma and Grandad for a couple of days, who live in South London. Alexandra is ...  Read the complete review

I don't know whether it's a good or a bad sign to say that what I love most about this museum is the building. Everytime I get to visit I am completely awestruck by the sheer beauty of the place. Every inch seems to be carved and decorated. The walls are covered in plants and beasties both inside and out and the detail is ...  Read the complete review

Dinosaurs may have been extinct for 65 million years but their current habitat (the natural history museum) is evolving fast. Many of the dry old exhibits have gone to be replaced by newer interactive ones. In fact the new museum is a curious mixture of the old and the new. Theme park style attractions have been placed alongside ...  Read the complete review

Housed in Alfred Waterhouse's stunning neo-Gothic building, the innovative and immensely enjoyable Natural History Museum is a hit with all ages. The beautiful terracotta tiles, covered with details reliefs of flora and fauna, hint at the riches inside, divided between the Life Galleries and the Earth Galleries. The biggest draw for ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit I’m not impressed by Natural History – I achieved a ‘D’ when I took it at ‘O’ level years ago. So when my Wife suggested a visit to the Natural History Museum (which I had never visited before) – I was a bit reluctant. It didn’t start off too well. There was little sensible ...  Read the complete review
