Sunday 16th London

Natural History Museum

We took our time to walk from our hotel to the Natural History Museum.

Once inside we were amazed to see the internal structure of this building, it reminded me of Harry Potter's Hogworts School. Pacing ourselves, we took in the dinosour 'blue' zone, the special moon room which held a large recreation of the moon, earthquake room, Human Evolution, The Vault and many more displays. 

View from our hotel window. It was a cloudy, warm day with a couple of showers.
