    So much to see didn't get to see everything so I'll be back again soon. So much to learn and it's great for the whole family. I love this museum and come here a lot and would recommend it to anyone

    The Linnean Society is one of a number of learned societies situsted in Burlington House. It is one of the oldest having been founded in 1788 and is dedicated to the dissemination of information about natural history, evolution and taxonomy. It has been based in Burlington House since 1857. During London Open Days 2023 ground floor rooms housing exhibitions and the magnificent library spread over two floors were open to the public. Particularly impressive is a marble staircase around which rest a number of colourful prints of animals and shells.

    Highly recommended for history buffs! Part of the Royal Museums Greenwich, this is a gigantic warehouse of maritime-related objects that also houses a conservation group. Really enjoyed a two-hour Thursday walking tour in a small group with friendly staff guides, looking at everything from astonishing collections of paintings to Admiral Nelson's tea cups to early charts drawn on calfskin. We also chatted with conservators at work. The collection is not near the other Greenwich museums nor other tourist attractions. But getting there took only about half an hour from Victoria Station via Southeastern Railway to the Kidbrooke station, which is a few minutes' walk from the collection.
