Science Museum, South Kensington

If you remember, I went to Natural History Museum lates a few months back, and it seemed like the right time to revisit Exhibition Road, so I headed off to my favourite of the area, the Science Museum.

This month the focus was on Churchill and the 1940s, with a swing band at the entrance and swing dancing upstairs.

In the space exhibit, a silent disco had people raving like it was a Friday night at a club, not Wednesday in a museum. The canteen had a mini debate group crowded around a table, while upstairs we were taught how to screen print (with an appropriately themed radio tower and planes).

Devi's, Maltby Street Market

Tucked away in a little road by the railway arches near Bermondsey is Maltby Street Market, a nest of street food stalls, restaurants and a handful of authentic antique shops, complete with creepy items in stock (pretend heads from the London Dungeon, anyone?).

We popped down on Sunday, to visit newcomers Devi's, an Indian food stall which, as well as selling delicious vegetarian food (with just the right level of spice), is raising money to build free schools for girls in rural India.

We went for the 'very good vara pau', a potato bhaji in a sweet brioche bun, oh and a chocolate brownie from the much-too-tempting Bad Brownie stand..
