Victoria and Albert Museum (18 August 2019)

The Victoria and Albert Museum is a large museum of art and design.  It is free to enter with charges for some exhibitions.

They offer a variety of free tours to show case different aspects of the museum.  This can be useful as the museum is vast with lots of corridors.

There are shops and restaurants but they are a bit overpriced.

Science Museum – Top Secret: From Cyphers to Cyber attacks

This free exhibition looks at the development of technology. n Despite it being free you do need a timed ticket.  As it is at the back of the museum you need to allow enough time to get there from the entrance.  It includes a small shop but there is no guide available to buy about the exhibition.
