The Horniman Museum, Forest Hill



It was such a beautiful weekend that there was nothing to so but go outside and enjoy the sunshine.

We decided to visit The Horniman Museum, founded in 1901, which has a collection of taxidermy, including some pretty scary looking exotic creatures, plus other cultural exhibitions.

There's an amazing view from the lovely gardens outside, being at the top of Forest Hill means you can see all the way from the London Eye to The Shard, all whilst enjoying music from the nearby bandstand.

The highlight for me though, was visiting the farm section, where the museum houses living animals, alpacas, rabbits, goats and chickens. You can't pet all the cuddlies as they're not so friendly, but it's fun to watch them bounding about. Even the alpacas seemed to be in a good mood..
