The Hive is a new exhibit which was originally at the Milan Expo. You can enter the structure which is supposed to look like a bee hive. The floor is made of glass so it can get a little bit slippery when it rains.

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.

Inside Charles Dickens’s last surviving London residence selected costumes, props and photos from the BBC Dickensian drama series are spread about. It is interesting to see some of the costumes ad props but it would be useful to show them somewhere with more space so that more could be shown.

The Kew Orchid Festival is back in the Princess of Wales Conservatory.
There is a Brazilian theme with Brazilian style music paying throughout the greenhouse and a lot of vibrant colours.

This temporary exhibition at the Museum of London give visitors the opportunity to see some of the exhibits held on in the Crime Museum which is not normally open to the public. It explains some of the history of capital punishment and crimes. It includes some information and evidence from famous crimes such as the great train robbery and the Krays. However it may be useful if it included a bit more background to help those who aren’t familiar with all the events covered in the exhibition.
It also includes a little shop at the end with exhibition souvenirs for sale.
