Two - there are few better places to take adults in London - far too many entertaining exhibits, from some of the modern world’s most important inventions to objects and exhibitions from the Museum’s contemporary art collection. It's a truly fantastic place.

As from the 24th November the Science Museum is introducing a large interactive gallery for young visitors called LaunchPad where they can learn about electricity, magnetism, light and sound. This will be a permanent gallery.

Victoria and Albert Museum

Some would say that it's the greatest museum of applied and decorative arts in the world (another one in the eye for the Yanks!) - and they would quite probably be right. We're not just talking modern stuff either; oh no - some exhibitions stretch as far back in time as 1500.
