Imperial War Museum

Today I have been rummaging through the computer looking for some good pictures to post to this blog.
So today I am taking you to The Imperial War Museum in South East London. Its free to get in and a fantastic place for kids...especially boys.They are more "children friendly" here and the kids can touch and even climb on some things.
Here is Joshua doing the "thumbs up"....these pics I must point out were taken back in the winter..hence the big heavy coat.

There were several pictures of tanks etc thanks to Josh and his photographic skills so I just picked out a few.

This statue is of a small child.Its in a rather sad part of the museum dedicated to the "Childrens War"...... It must have been very terrifying to be taken from your parents and sent away during war time.

Some original wartime toys.


And to finish an overall picture of the museum.All in all a very good day out.
For those of you who read this blog and are planning on visiting London I urge you to visit all the museums if possible...they are all free and well worth a look...especially on a cold winter day.

  1. Thank you for visiting and your kind comments about how I see New York.

    I know London pretty well, but have never been to the museum you've just shown me. Great to trade our city travels this way.

    Best wishes with the blogging!
