Natural History Museum – Sensational Butterflies exhibition (2016)

I visited here just after 20 on a school day and it was reasonably empty as most other visitors were queuing for the main museum and this is in a separate structure. It is quite warm in there and has a number of different Butterflies, 2 benches available when you walk around, wild caterpillars and it’s own shop.

Special fares are available on Thursdays ÂŁ4 return for a 30 mins trip each way with no commentary. The piers aren’t as close to Kingston and Hampton Court as The Turks boat piers – At Hampton Court the boat stops on the station side of the river where there are a number of steps to get up to the bridge.  At Kingston it stops near a river side cafe between Kingston and Surbiton.
