National Maritime Museum
The National Maritime Museum is the largest of its sort in the world (ha! Put that in your pipe and smoke it America!). We wouldn't want to put anyone off by banging on about war too much - so we should point out that many of the exhibits you'll find have absolutely nothing to do with bashing people and instead cover far more pleasant things like exploration and art. In short - something for everyone.

Science Museum
Two things; One - there are few better places to take children in London - vast numbers of interactive exhibits, shows and demonstrations mean that they'll be kept occupied for years, never mind hours. 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.
