Planning on trip to science museum with a gang of 7 year old boys for IMAX etc birthday trip. Bearing in mind they will be hyper and I will be grouchy so need minimal travel time, changes of transport and interaction with the general public, what route would you recommend?

Thanks

We went yesterday. Same journey as Pickle. VERY busy at South Ken tube though - my 4 yr old got a bit freaked so I had to carry her up the stairs in the crush. Other than that she was fine. The museum was however incredibly busy (the rain didn't help as everyone had the same thought) and by the afternoon, it was time to get out. But your boys are older so will have more strength and willpower than my daughter so you should be fine. Have fun.
52 goed from victoria to top of exhibition road. Walk down from there to museum takes 5 mins - avoids the stairs in the tube station if u have a buggy. Tips from someone who works there - go early then head to the things you really want to do - launch pad??? Interactive galleries etc first. heaving usually by late morning. Then do some of the 'quieter' galleries whilst everyone else queues for the more 'popular. Stuff. Cafes busy at lunch time.

    • No offence, but why not start from the assumption that the trees team in Southwark Council know what they're doing because it's their job and aren't a bunch of ecogenocidal maniacs looking for excuses to cut back trees? I'm not an expert but if they're not coming back to cut down the rest, then it seems like pollarding. It always looks ugly at first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollarding
    • It looks like the branches overhung the entry way to the toilets. There's a lot of paranoia about at the moment about branch drop after a couple of sad accidents which have happened recently where beloved trees were propped up but still dropped branches then everyone jumps up and asks why nothing was done before. You might remember when the massive oak fell over in Peckham Rye by the skating park, thankfully no one was hurt.  I've noticed notices in almost every public space warning about branch drop and some trees have had barriers put underneath them etc. These things seem to come into vogue and then pass again.  I expect local authorities in their regular meetings have all been discussing their risk exposure and issues of corporate responsibility etc....and someone will have been assigned the task (and responsibility) of making everything all right. Perhaps this tree fell victim to that. I doubt there is malice and something they feel is safer/appropriate etc will take its place in due course.  I don't doubt cutting it back is an over reaction but at the same time we all bellow at them when things go wrong so there is a difficult path to navigate. It was a chestnut by the look of it, so not particularly rare I have plenty of saplings growing through my beds if they wish to replace like for like.   
    • it was super odd... my first instinct was perhaps this individual was lost or needed help... but when they just stood there looking me dead in the eyes it felt intimidating.  i did call 101 and they were super helpful and seems like i wasnt the only one that rang that night. thanks for the help and advice ... really appreciate it 🙂
    • They don't normally come to somebody's front door specifically to stick their tongues out, having had no prior contact with that person. 🙄
