There's a Christmas tree in the middle
A Trip to the Natural History Museum, Kensington, London - 15th January 2022
We're off for a visit to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. We get there in plenty of time so fit in a visit to Pizza Express on Gloucester Road, and then do a bit of ice skating outside the museum itself.
