Want to see the landmarks of central London in a luxury bus while consuming a 6 course meal in the evening? Try Bustronome. We filmed this on 15th September 2026. If you want to splash out, try this out.

There is a full scale model of a blue whale the size of a jet plane in the large mammal gallery in the Natural History Museum in London. Take a look. It's enormous!

Hope, the blue whale

 

As you go into the entrance hall of the Natural History Museum in London, you are met by the skeleton of a blue whale. It has been named Hope to reflect the recovery in blue whale numbers after being overhunted by commercial whalers.

Jurassic Garden at the Natural History Museum

 

Outside the Natural History Museum in London is a Jurassic Garden, focused on plants from prehistory. You walk through it before getting to the entrance to the Museum. It's well worth spending some time there.

A visit to Bletchley Park

 

Ealier this month I visited Bletchley Park, the Allies main centre for breaking the Axis codes during the Second World War. Varying estimates put the length of time the war was shortened by the codebreakers at one to two years. This is definitely a place to visit if you are into 20th century history.
