How often do you go to museums?

I’m always hearing about the general intellectual meltdown in society these days, so I was wondering how often your well-informed, ice-cream-nostalgic readership manage to go to museums. Not art galleries or anything like that, most people I know have trooped round the Tate Modern a few times more than is goo...

Can I recommend the Bank of England Museum?

One of London’s hidden gems is the Bank of England Museum. It’s small, you can go around it in an hour easily. It’s free – kinda odd for a bank. The only drawback is that it’s only open during the day on Mondays to Fridays – no evenings and no weekends. But if any readers are in t...

Having lived in London all my life I feel I should actually make an effort and see what we have to offer…..Does anyone know of some good museums, galleries, buildings of interest, exhibitions etc. etc. that are not a complete rip off to get into, but are well worth a visit? Feebs

Does anyone know of the historical building/museum I'm thinking of?

Does anyone know of a condemned mansion that is only open to the public occasionally – I read about it a while back – apparently it’s really atmospheric, unusual and interesting. All I can remember is that it is in London, and has a strong history with Jewish immigrants and you can get guided tours...

Interesting things to do or places to go in the West End during lunch hour?

I work in the west end, slap bang right by Oxford Circus. Most lunch hours I wander about with a semi purpose, usually buying things I need (funnels, potato peelers) or buying things I don’t need (records, second hand shirts). Sometimes I can get away with a good 90minutes to 2 hours for my lunch hour. What t...

Where would you take an Italian abroad?

I would like to ask for some help on behalf of my brother-in-law and his wife. He is Italian – in fact, they both are – living in Italy. He can speak reasonable English, but she can only just about manage “ello” – and Ciao, of course. My – well, their – problem is where t...

Unusual museums well worth a look?

After the very nice FCL review of the Old Operating Theatre museum in Borough, I thought mention of other interesting small museums would be worthwhile. For example, there’s a fascinating exhibition at the Wellcome Medical Museum near Baker Street. I can’t be arsed looking it up at the moment, but itR...

Can anyone recommend something cultural for me to do on Saturday late afternoon/early evening in Zone 1? My husband and I were considering the boring old cinema, but there isn’t really anything that appeals to us at the moment. I thought it might be nice to see an exhibition, or do an organised walk, but seem ...
