Best & Cool Science and Space Museums in The Heights

"Founded in 1857, Science Museum London is one of the major tourist attractions in London. The major museum is located on the Exhibition Road and houses over 300,000 items and artifacts including the first jet engine and oldest surviving steam locomotive. If you are a kid between 8-11 years old, then take part in the Science Night which is an all-night extravaganza."

"The large number of interactive stations is outstanding here. Perfect for children and all who like to press buttons and to stroke screens. If you are interested in technical masterpieces you will have the chance to see some highlights like the Apollo 10 command module, which was already in the orbit of the moon ...Images, Info & Tips"

"South Kensington is home to three of the best free museums in London – the Science Museum, Natural History Museum and the V&A. The Science Museum is the perfect chance to learn more about all the things you’ve ever wanted to know about, and then some!. It’s been delighting visitors since 1857 with its amazing collections."

"Kings College London only recently opened this permanent site for the Science Gallery, a dedicated space for showing contemporary artwork that explores scientific questions. Its inaugural exhibition is all about addiction, called Hooked, and previous shows in its travelling days have investigated blood, food and orifices. Think of it as looking at science through the eyes of an artist."

"Science Gallery London is an art-science-and-health inspired gallery in London. The free museum has been open since 2018 in London Bridge after a series of pop-up exhibits across London. The gallery aims to bring together scientists, artists, and communities with three themed seasons every year."

": Row upon row of glass jars, with everything from tiny organisms, to strange two-headed beasts, to examples of gross diseases, this museum can be very creepy at times, especially when it’s quiet. However, it’s so much more than the freakshow that it is sometimes made out to be, offering a unique insight into the history of surgery and advances in modern medicine. The next few months are your last chance to see the museum before it closes in 2017 for refurbishment, so get going!"

Stroll down Chestnut Avenue to Hampton Court Palace or see trees full of mistletoe in Bushy Park, the second largest of London's Royal Parks."

"Designated in September 2014 a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Bushy Park represents an enormous open natural space. The second largest of London’s Royal Parks, Bushy Park is unique through its historical heritage and the large number of outdoor activities that it grants. When visiting Bushy Park, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy activities such as fishing, horse riding, hockey, rugby, cricket or simply relaxing in a comfortable café."

"Lying to the north of Hampton Court Palace, the park, has a distinctly rural character and is home to around 320 free-roaming deer. The famous Arethusa 'Diana' Fountain forms the centerpiece to the famous Chestnut Avenue."

"A cool taproom on Brick Lane, this pop-up beer hall has got your summer plans sorted. Head down to this Shoreditch beer garden when the sun is high and cool off with craft brews and fun catch-ups with friends."

"The bar and bistro in Valpy Street specialises in classic dishes, perfect for a quick lunch or a hearty main course. Along with a burger and sandwich menu plus seasonal daily specials, the place has lunch covered. Address: 17 to 19 Valpy Street, Reading, RG1 1AR"

"Valpys is a cellar bar and bistro nestled in the heart of the town, just a minutes walk from Reading Station. They have a real love of all things food, drink and service....."

"It’s all about the natural wines and the serious talent in the kitchen at 40 Maltby Street, where trains rumble overhead and the decor’s strictly DIY (a tiny kitchen, home-made tables, and wine festival posters on the walls). You’ll find a scribbled blackboard by the bar, listing the menu—it changes daily. The wines are all sourced from small-scale producers, and there are half-a-dozen options by the glass and eight pages of bottles."

"Under the railway arches in Bermondsey, on the edge of the popular Maltby Street food market, this no-book, casual bar and restaurant offers the best of modern British cuisine. It’s a low-key food-hipster hang out with small sharing plates: beef and anchovy toast, crisp flower sprouts with yogurt and lemon pickle. There is also a good list of natural wines."

"Here, chef Steve Williams (ex Ledbury and Harwood Arms) is quietly turning out extraordinary dishes that have fellow chefs and restaurateurs regularly citing this as one of their favourite places in town. And it's not just the food that's good, given that it's owned by Gergovie Wines, you can expect a very decent wine list here too. Delivery: Takeaway only"

"Coppa Club’s Instagram-friendly riverside igloos are back for the summer, set against the backdrop of Tower Bridge, The Shard and the city beyond. Whatever the weather these make an idyllic al fresco dining spot – just be sure to book ahead, as they’re hugely popular. Food options include everything from pizzas to vegan burgers to small sharing plates, all very reasonably priced, which you can enjoy alongside some of the tasty cocktails on offer."

"For me the “most Instagram worthy cafes and restaurants” label goes to places with epic decor and surroundings, more than how well the food is served and how pretty it looks. Which is why Coppa Club couldn’t miss from my London restaurants Instagram photo guide. If you’re not already in love with the idea of eating in an igloo type bubble, the views over the Shard, the Thames and tower Bridge should easily convince you."

"Well, if it isn't those igloos that randomly appeared near Tower Bridge once and haven't left our minds since. Who knew that they were actually part of a restaurant called Coppa Club that also has several other branches across England!. And while an igloo evidently constitutes outdoor dining 'goals', there are also individual tables on the terrace should these not be available."

"Sometimes a visit to such a quintessentially British town as Windsor causes a hankering for a meal that’s unapologetically not British (don’t ask us why). If that’s the case, you want to check out Bluegrass BBQ – an American restaurant committed to smoking meat properly. Open morning, noon and night, it’s a great spot for a calorific fix."

"Sometimes restaurants near Windsor Castle can come off as a bit uptight, but never fear because barbeque is here. Nestled beneath a chocolate brown wooden façade on the corner of Castle Hill and Market Street, it’s a little slice of the American South in the heart of England. The interior is all intimate booths and window-side seating."
