The Venue

 

The Natural History Museum, built in 1881 is one of London’s most iconic museums and an architectural marvel.  Dinosaurs, volcanoes, precious gems, creepy crawlies, even radiologists - as a visitor to The Natural History Museum you will be amazed by the diversity of our natural world.

The Natural History Museum is home to the nation's finest collections of natural history specimens and is one of the UK's top visitor attractions. The Museum's collection now runs to 70 million plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, fossils, rocks and minerals - many of which are displayed through its fascinating exhibitions and more than you could ever see in one day.  Be greeted by the giant dinosaur in the main hall.

 

There are further treats as the Science Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum are all next to each other so you will be spoilt for choice.
