The Musical Museum tells the changing story of how people have captured and listened to music over the last four centuries. From tiny music boxes to the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ in our concert hall, the collection includes an impressive array of instruments and inventions, including reproducing pianos, orchestrions, self-playing violins, pipe organs, gramophones & synthesizers. Find out how music was recorded and reproduced, see and hear them in action. Located near Kew Bridge, Brentford, we're open on Thurday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Bank Holidays from 10:30am to 4:30pm. Tours with live demonstrations take place at 11am, 1pm & 3pm. Concession discounts and reduced prices for children and families are available. The Museum is open on any day for groups consisting of 20 people or more - please contact us for further details.
We had a couple of hours to spare before seeing a show at the local arts centre and stumbled across this Musical Museum by chance. The museum features many self-playing pianos, organs and music boxes from the last century and we were fortunate enough to be given a tour by the charismatic Roy who demonstrated many of the instruments on display. Roy was a fantastic tour guide, with many interesting stories and a natural ability to engage our older children (ages 8 and 6), even allowing them to operate some of the instruments which they were thrilled at. He really made the museum and instruments come alive for us and it was a very memorable experience. Highly recommended.

The only original Battle of Britain RAF Fighter Group Operations Room open to the public. The Operations Room, in reality a series of rooms on 2 levels some 60 feet (18m) underground, is reached via 76 steps. The plotting room with its large map table, squadron display boards, balloon and weather states, is exactly how it was when Winston Churchill visited on 15 September 1940

Croydon Airport Visitor Centre micro-museum- located in Airport House, Purley Way, Croydon CR0 0XZ. Open on the 1st Sunday of the month throughout the year. Special Open Days at other times- see website for details. Haley Sharpe designed and winner of a British Tourism Award, featuring interactive displays and storyboards. It tells the story of Britain's first major international airport through World War I, Imperial Airways and BOAC, record-breaking flights by the likes of Amy Johnson and other, the Battle of Britain and much, much more.
We were in Croydon for the weekend to attend a family funeral and stayed in a hotel opposite here. On Sunday our last day we were advised there was an open day at this museum and it's a very interesting place to visit, it most certainly was, we had an excellent guided tour with Graeme and all very interesting especially hearing about the first long distance flights.This place is great for learning about aviation and early air travel.Highly recommended.

Disappointingly there was no Lady Isabella Gardner who started planting exotic flowers here on her return from even more exotic locations. The name Isabel simply means grey, yellow soil of this enclosed area because this is how this boggy, soggy area looked like few centuries ago. But now it's definitely a Bella as Italian would say. This little park within a park has a biodiversity of mini botanical garden. Other than the local trademark ancient oak trees, bluebell, daffodils flowers, there are chestnut, strawberry trees, fungi, many species of butterflies ???? moths and other little animals that come out only at night. And with a free entry for everyone, this is as good as it can get.

The caves are fascinating, with lots of history. Our guide was Peter, who is very knowledgeable and humourous. He was good with the children in our group. The tour is only about an hour and well worth the entry fee. There is a nice little cafe in the entrance as well
