Horniman Museum

The Horniman Museum in Forest Hill, London is one of those museums that if you grew up in London and any surrounding suburb you more than likely visited on a primary school visit. The stuffed walrus in the main hall has been etched on my brain ever since!

Popular for it's anthropology, taxidermy and tribal artefacts it's a very cool free museum that if you're down that neck of the woods is worth a visit. Nestled in beautifully landscaped gardens with views over the city, the museum itself was designed by Charles Harrison Townsend in the Arts and Craft style popular at the time, and is quite unusual and there's even a cedar wood totem pole at the entrance. This museum is a real secret gem of a place.
