Leon -Yoghurt Sundae

This was a bit small for the price paid and contained a lot of granola compared to the rest of the sundae.  The strawberry on top was also a bit past its best.  The rest was yoghurt, strawberry sauce and chocolate.

King of Thieves, The (2018)

Film dramatisation (released in cinemas – unlike the others) of the events surrounding the Hatton Garden heist of April 2015, and what happened afterwards when they started to get greedy.

Unfortunately made and released before the identity of “Basil” was confirmed this is an interesting film with a big-name cast, and there are jokes for those who are aware of the story about how they broke in to get the loot, and jokes about their age and health.

Natural History Museum – Anning Rooms

These are the members room at the Natural History Museum.  They are located on the top floor above the main entrance.  You get reasonable views, and  is larger than most members rooms as it has a reading area and café/bar on 2 levels.

It would be nice if they made it clear if you can bring guests and if so how many.
