About
A natural history museum at University College London established in 1828, housing one of the UK's oldest zoological collections including skeletons, preserved specimens, and glass models.
Small and quirky with glass cabinets of preserved creatures, including a dodo skeleton and thylacine specimens. Best for children aged 8+ with genuine curiosity about natural history. Free entry and rarely crowded. A rewarding detour if you're near UCL on Gower Street.
