It depends on what your after...The natural history museum and the imperial war museum are among my favourites.
Theme parks and zoos also have their place depending on what the situation is.

Tower of London, National History Museumand for kids, Folly Farm near Tenby. Farm park, zoo, diggers, and a full size indoor fairground with all the proper old rides in, dodgems that go fast, waltzers, your mum, etc.
The worst is Alice's Wonderland near Bournemouth. Best in Dorset my arse, most expensive shite in Dorset. more like. Over £40 to get in, then anything decent costs extra, and after less than 3 hours the kids were bored of it. Avoid.

When I moved offices from Fulham to here, I went from Zone 2 to Zone 4.It's an unmanned station so I winged it with my Zone 2 travelcard, saving about £40 a month, I thought I'd do it until I got caught, it took 18 months - that was well worth it.

I have no Quo but I saw them earlier this year on a stag do. It was original line-up early stuff Quo so I only knew one song (Down Down) but they put on a good show and did the standing a line scything guitars thing. Which was nice.
