Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum, located in London's landmark Waterhouse building, is among the most impressive and beautiful museums in the country. The German Romanesque architecture and the richly decorated interior of the iconic South Kensington building are more than enough to justify a visit. A large part of the collection of physician and collector of natural curiosities Sir Hans Sloane formed the basis of the Natural History Museum's inventory. Samples taken by captain James Cook aboard the HMS Endeavour and Charles Darwin himself are still part of the collection...Practical information

.. Since then, the collection has been expanded to include more than 70 million specimens, ranging from tinier than ladybugs to a full-size blue whale skeleton. From the moment you set foot inside the Central Hall you really feel the weight of all that history: you are greeted by a Diplodocus skeleton, a 1300-year old sequoia and by an ivory Charles Darwin, approvingly overlooking the beautiful hall. Besides a T-rex skeleton, a wide variety of mounted animals, a rich section dedicated to the natural forces that shape our planet, and the high-tech Attenborough Studio, the museum hosts periodically changing expositions covering a wide range of topics.
