I had an iPad before the divorce and a broken £99 Android tablet after......

If you want an alternative to the modern museum experience then try the Horniman Museum in Forest Hill.

Yes, we've been there actually - he loved it.

Thanks for asking MP

Quiet one tonight watching whatever carp that lovefilm delivers.

Sat: bit of a pre-winter clearout followed by dinner and drinkies.

Sun: mow the lawn weather permitting and slow cook something spicy for dinner.

My SWTOR (Star wars MMO) character is 1 experience bar away from level 55 (highest level) so....

Apart from that lots of cat feeding

I'm taking the boy for a day out in London tomorrow.

In fact - does anyone have any ideas for fun things to take him to? [He's 4 and into dinosaurs, ice cream and burping].

We've already got the National History Museum planned.

Take him to Hamleys, of course. Boy heaven. Not bad for dads either ;-)

Great idea! How close is it to Harrods? I'm too lazy to google, sorry.

Not sure I'll invite his Dad, though.

Rainforest cafe's pretty good for kids -

Closest station is Oxford street. Its <5 mins walk from there along Regent St.
But I would get a cab from Harrods if I was with a 4 year old, shouldn't be too much.

It's crap now. Although maybe less so for a kid? We went recently and were both unimpressed, it's all computer screens and videos Wish we'd gone to the NH museum instead.

It needs an update for sure. All the new stuff is about climate change, it's like British Engineering stopped. Where is skylon / reaction engines, the invention of television, the computer, the latest RR engines, carbon fibre racing cars and so on?

It is still cool for a kid though. I remember the first time I took my boy, he stopped and pointed at a steam engine and said "look daddy, a science"

[MaryPoppins]

Thanks both. I won't get away with cabs SAS; he's obsessed with the tube.
