Junk shop clothes will get you nowhere
Sep. 24th, 2007 10:55 pmI've been wandering in London again. Mostly in Greenwich, where I was delighted to discover that the Observatory is free. Maybe it's some kind of reward for people who manage to walk all the way up the hill to get there.
One of the best things about free museums is that you can tackle them piecewise. On Sunday, we poked and prodded at all the interactive sciencey bits in the North half of the Observatory. Then we wandered off; the South half can be another day's trip out some time. Had we paid, we'd have felt obliged to cover the whole museum in one day - and missed out on ( ambling and food. )
We caught a boat up the Thames to Westminster, then wandered back along the South Bank to the Royal Festival Hall where we once again found a ( fantastic art exhibition )
