Natural History Museum

The Victorian cathedral of nature: whales, dinosaurs and a building that is a collection in itself. Free entry, and the best museum in London to visit with children.

• The animatronic T. rex in the dinosaur gallery
• Fern, the bronze diplodocus in the new gardens
• Darwin's statue at the top of the staircase
