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).

Plonk Golf, Dalston

If crazy golf takes your fancy, I'm sure there's plenty of places in London to meet your needs, but none as unique as Dalston's own Plonk Golf. Set in an old snooker pub (with snooker tables included), you can work your way around the cleverly designed course, drink in hand.

It's a great date location, as the bar is quiet enough to chat, and there's some comfy sofas if you want to get cosy. Some of the holes are quite a challenge though, so expect to rack up a high score on your card!

Natural History Museum lates, South Kensington

Once a month, the Natural History Museum, and other London landmarks (including London Zoo, the Tate Gallery and London Aquarium) open late for some evening exploration.

The museum is free entry, with bars dotted about the main hall and a couple of food stalls too. Special exhibitions, such as the new exhibit Coral Reef: Secret Cities of the Sea come at a cost (in this case, £10 if the slot is booked in advance) and do not allow drinks to be taken in.

It's a great opportunity to explore the sights without the busy crowds that weekends draw in, and there's some fascinating insights into our planet's history, from minerals to mammals. The huge blue whale that hangs from the ceiling is a definitely must see.
