Whether you are a young adult, child or parent the Science Museum
has a wide array of exhibits for all ages and interests. There is everything
from the history and development of aviation to the evolution of mass media.
Whatever peaks a person’s interest this museum is bound to have it. In many
ways I consider it to be more of a history-science museum as it focuses more on
the evolution of a product or service.
Max and
I went there as a part of his class project. We did not really sit around
read all the displays, instead we pursued around for a bit.
While there were a wide variety of rooms to explore I liked the Space Exhibition
and History of Aviation room the best.
What was really neat about the History of Aviation room was
seeing all the different types of planes and how they evolved. There was
everything from the Wright Brothers to WWII fighter planes. I was particularly interested
in this one contraption this man made. He was so enthusiastic on figuring out
how he could fly that he attached wings to himself. That is some dedication if
you ask me.
There was also the Space Exhibition Room. This room was full
of rockets and spaceships of all shapes and sizes. One of the highlights had to
be the Apollo 10 landing pod.
After we finished with the Museum we made our way to Camden
Market. It was a very busy area. Camden Market itself was very narrow and
crowded. It was filled with clothing and jewelry. Max and I did not spend much
time there as there were far too many people in a small space. We tried hoping
back on the Tube but it took nearly 20 minutes just to get into the station.
There were far too many people for this small station to handle. So my word of
advice is if you do go to Camden Market go on a week day as opposed to the
weekend.
We then finished our night off at Piccadilly Circus. The
best way to describe the area is a dumbed down time square. It has the feeling
of the hustle and bustle of time square, but does not compare to the lights of
time square in NY.
After walking for a small bit we walked through Chinatown.
This one was far more larger than the one in Boston and was much more prettier.
In the center of the square there were beautiful circular lights that lit up
the town. There were two gates that led to different parts of Chinatown. One
way took you down to the more traditional Chinese restaurants. The other gate
had other Asian foods like Vietnamese.
The final stop on our journey was Planet Hollywood. The
ambiance of the restaurant was very contagious. Everyone was having a jolly old
time. This was partly due to the fact that they had cameras circulating around
the restaurant showing various customers. Many of the children were very eager
to get on the big screen and were jumping up in down to get noticed. After a
while I was feeling left out and wanted to be on the screen. Eventually I was
on the screen and my want was satisfied. There was also really great music
playing, so overall I’d say it was a very enjoyable experience.
