I'll make a note of Tring, but we're going to London on the train so can't really take quick diversions this trip.

Perfect for a 7 year old.
Look out for the book covered with human skin.
And the dressed fleas.
And the elephant seal (I thought that was fake).

Just realised there is a Bug House in one of the museums in Liverpool, which is a bit closer to home. But still... carry on.

Trouble is, we've been to the Natural History Museum so many times I don't think I can face it again. Always seems to be massively crowded as well.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any other options in The Smoke? Has the zoo got a particularly impressive collection, or just a couple of miserable spiders in a mouldy tank somewhere? Any other ideas?
