Always worth a visit: interesting exhibitions and free! Free!

Been here 10+ times
Love the spongy seats. Listen out for sciency types having a chinwag. The free wifi is great, but they're clamping down on over-use, especially at lunch time.

Don't miss Francis Crick's hand-drawn pencil sketch of the human genome DNA strand, created in 1953 - the first vision of a jigsaw piece that would connect humanity forever.
