Brighton Palace Pier

Traditional seaside pleasure pier that is free to enter. It has a fair at the end, an amusement arcade, a number of cafes and kiosks, free deckchairs and views of the shore and sea.
It is very popular particularly on nice days and has one of the smallest tourist information kiosks you have probably every seen.

Natural History Museum – Sensational Butterflies (2017)

Small temporary exhibit outside the Natural History Museum London. It has a separate queue which is a lot shorter than either queue to the main museum, but it is very small meaning it can feel crowded quite quickly.

Final Portrait (2017)

Film bout the artist Alberto Giocometti and the final portrait he painted. The film is a bit dull as he is a perfectrionist and never wants to finish a painting so keeps redoing it much to the annoyance to the sitter.

Jewish Museum London, The

Interesting and educational, but a bit cramped tucked away museum in Camden which provides some basic background to Jewish history in the UK and also some explanations of Judaism.

Primrose Hill

It can be quite steep but once you get to the top of Primrose Hill you are rewarded with a nice view over parts of London. It is quite popular and there is a notice explaining what some of the sights are.

Natural History Museum – London

Although “Hope” the blue whale skeleton has replaced Dippy the dinosaur in the reopened Hintze hall the main entrance is still not opened and the 2 alternative entrances still each have longer queues than the other S Ken museums added together.

Victoria and Albert Museum London – Plywood

Although this small exhibition isn’t the most thrilling exhibition it isn’t quite as dull as it first sounds. It shows mow plywood is used to make items and in addition to furniture it has some more unusual items made of plywood such as a life size car and plane.
