Overall, The Natural History Museum London was a great experience. This is the place for you if you have interest in dinosaurs, rocks, minerals, climate and more. The venue was very easy to get to, with the South Kensington tube station being the closest, and then a short walk from there to the venue.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the dinosaur displays. Entry is completely free at this venue, and there was no obligation to stay for a set amount of time, so I was able to see as little or as much as I desired, which made me enjoy it even more.

Additionally, it was fairly easy to find my way around as there were easy-to-read signs and everything is split into different colour sections – There were also maps available for a suggested price of £2 (they were completely free).

The museum was very busy and hot (it didn’t help that I went mid June) so I’d suggest bringing a water bottle and a small snack. Unfortunately because it was so busy, it was difficult to read the displays’ information as people (mostly children) would stand in front of the information boards or stand over it, blocking it so that nobody else could read it (children again).

There’s also four main café/restaurants around the venue (Central Café, T.rex Restaurant, Earth Hall Café and The Garden Kitchen). I found that the prices were a little bit steep, so I decided to dine elsewhere, but there was plenty of choice in drinks and food.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Natural History Museum. Although busy, hot, and an inability to read information and look at displays at times, it was refreshing to be able to look at Earth’s history in a well-made venue.

To conclude, I would recommend this experience.
