My son loved the petrified dinosaur pooh! But the shop and the cafe are expensive and it is not that easy to find what you want to look at.

The natural History museum's near South Kensington tube - nowhere near HIgh Street Ken (well at least a mile away!)

My son's favourite bit in the science museum is the house exhibit with all the pests and creepy crawlies. Also now that it's free no need to feel you have to cram in as many floors aspossible in one day and no need to bother with a packed lunch as you can go out for lunch and come back in later.

Visiting the Natural History Museum won't ever be the same if you read Deep Time by Henry Gee, about the revolution in palaeontology. I love the chapter recounting where the Museum staff went drinking at lunch times, with warring groups in different pubs. Also, he explains a lot about the fossils - e.g. scientifically speaking there's no such category as "fish" though he says it's still OK for fishmongers to call what they sell "fish"

What does "periforal" mean?

I think he means peripheral.

Damn, I always get peripheral wrong.
Not even Americans spell it periforal.

Glad to see the periforal puzzle has been cleared up. I thought it might be some clever dg-ish humour that I was too thick to understand.

Do you remember that film One of My Dinosaurs is Missing - used to be one of my favourites as a kid.
