    I absolutely love this museum and I could spend hours here. Avoid the main entrance as queues can be long, instead use the side entrance.

    one of the best and biggest parks in central london! lots of lakes and monuments and scenery! the vibe is great as the locals are usually exercising and walking their dogs. it’s very clean and Green with lots of different flowers and trees to discover. there are usually ducks and swans in the large lake and it’s great if you love walking as it can take almost 1 hour to get from one side of the park to the other! Reasons to Recommend: most popular park in London

    I had an amazing experience at Chessington World of Adventures! The rides were thrilling, especially the Mandrill Mayhem roller coaster, which was definitely my favourite! The Gruffalo River Ride was perfect for the whole family. We explored the zoo and aquarium, where we got to see some incredible animals up close, and the Sea Life Center had an underwater tunnel that was really cool. The staff were also friendly and very helpful. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with fun and laughter

    Good aquarium in a prime location. I thought it was a bit too small for my liking, there are larger Sea Life aquariums out there. But good variety of fish and great for kids

    The Regent’s Park is located in the northwest of London, next to the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds. It is the second largest park in central London, second only to Hyde Park. The park covers an area of ​​more than 500 acres and was originally the hunting ground of Henry VIII. The park has gardens, lakes, rose gardens, courts and children's playgrounds. In addition to the London Zoo in the north, there is also an open-air theater, where Shakespeare's plays are often performed in the summer.

    The museum is hidden in a white building with a long history. It was founded in 1857. There are many large power machines on the first floor. Six large steam engines perform twice a day. Unfortunately, we didn't catch up. The second-floor lobby exhibits steel industry, glass industry machine tools and tools, as well as textile machinery, typewriters and printing machinery. Further up, there is a ship history exhibition, an aviation exhibition hall with real airplanes and rockets, a computer exhibition hall, and content related to optics, electromagnetism, earthquake observation, communications and aviation, as well as medical history collections. We were dazzled by it all and felt that we had too little time and it was totally insufficient.
