Best & Cool Science and Space Museums in Woodcote

"A futuristic museum that is spread across seven floors of interactive and entertaining exhibits and explores everything from space travel to the Industrial Revolution. There’s something here for kids of all ages, including toddlers. Highlights include the giant telescope in the Exploring Space section, flying machines in the Flight Gallery – from hot air balloons to vintage planes, and the IMAX cinema shows on deep space and the underwater world."

"This is the place to come if you want to see the Apollo 10 command module and Stephenson’s Rocket. There is so much for children to do here, from morphing your face to see what it will look like when you’re older to investigating climate change and dressing up as a WWII fighter pilot. Wonderlab is one of the world’s leading hands-on science centres and one of the best London museums for children especially if your kids are into science."

"The highly informative and entertaining Science Museum fills five floors with interactive exhibits. The Energy Hall highlights the first steam locomotives, which date from the early 19th century, while the third-floor exhibits, which include old gliders, hot-air balloons and flight simulators, are popular with kids."

"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!"

"Cult chicken and waffle spot Sweet Chick has made its way from Manhattan to London, taking over the Carluccio’s site on Market Place just off Oxford Street. Think American comfort food done well: alongside its staple dish the restaurant dishes up ‘shrimp and grits’ (scallions with poached egg and cheddar grits), chicken wings, mac and cheese, maple glazed bacon and the like. Wellness fever may be sweeping the nation – but there’s still a place for downright indulgence."

"If you’re heading to London for a casino experience then they don’t get much better than The Ritz Club. You can imagine yourself to be a real-life James Bond as you move from room to elegant room, playing the table games available or booking yourself into a Salle Privés if you want to take that feeling of exclusivity one step further. There are no electronic games offered here and some of the stakes at the tables get quite high quite quickly."

"London is home to some really iconic classic luxury hotels like The Ritz, The Dorchester, Brown’s, and The Savoy. But it also has a number of mid-range and budget friendly chains like Holiday Inn Express, Travelodge, Best Western, Premier Inn, Ibis, and Point.a Hotels. If you are spending a full week in London, you can often save money by booking an apartment at a weekly versus daily rate."

"What can you say about a place that has lent its name to the English lexicon?. This 136-room hotel, opened by the eponymous César in 1906, has a spectacular position overlooking Green Park and is supposedly the..."

"If you’ve never been to Xi’an Impression next to the Emirates Stadium, you either have terrible taste or simply couldn’t get in. The founders have now understood that delicious, handmade noodles and Shaanxi province cuisine deserves a bigger surface area and opened a second outlet in Whitechapel last year (a third, Master Wei, can now be found in Bloomsbury). In this far more capacious eatery, all the same classics are available with far more room to breathe."

"The Good Earth has been a staple Chinese restaurant in the capital ever since founder Holland Kwok opened his first restaurant on the King’s Road in 1979. Forty-two years later and The Good Earth name is widely known and loved across south-west London, with Jason Atherton calling the Wandsworth branch “a godsend” when it opened. An endorsement from a Michelin-starred chef is a pretty good sign, but don’t just take Atherton's word for it – order from the restaurant’s extensive menu to try house (and customer) favourites such as tangerine karaage chicken and Golden Sands Dover sole."

"A stalwart on the scene, Good Earth brings you all the classic Chinese dishes you love without a hint of greasiness, and more importantly with super fresh ingredients that won’t leave you feeling overwhelmed by salt and stodge. There’s usually quite a wait at weekends to get your grub, so make sure to place an order early. We love the super crispy salt and chilli squid that is covered in a moreish garlic, chilli and spring onion mixture as well as the veggie Singapore noodles that bring that signature curry spicing to the mix."
