Hi have been thinking about going to the science museum tomorrow with minikatsu. Someone recommended the 345 bus from Peckham which goes straight there - but I've just looked at the bus timetable online, and it says it will take about 1 hour 15 minutes.


When we have been before we have taken the train to Victoria and then bus to the museum, but now that there are only 2 trains an hour to Victoria from PR I am trying to avoid that.


The other option is train to LB, then Jubilee line and District Line.


The bus would be the easiest but not sure if I c(or minikatsu) will be able to manage one and half hours on the bus!

I went last week - got a bus to Vauxhall and then changed at the bus station to the 360. Took forty mins in total from goose green. Very direct - stops on exhibition street itself.


Highly recommend combining a visit to the natural history museum butterfly exhibition too. Buy your tickets online and you can avoid the queues. My 13 month old loved it but older kids seemed equally enthralled - particularly if they have a camera to take pictures.


Route home is lovely as the bus stops on exhibition street itself so is empty on the way back.

If you're going from Peckham Rye I would take the train to Blackfriars then do a step free interchange onto the District Line and on to South Ken. The steps at South Ken are a pain but someone has always given me a hand, esp in school holidays.


I sometimes catch the 345 back as my little one will still sleep in the buggy on the bus after a long morning running around the museums.

Overground to clapham junction, come out the back entrance and pick up a 49 or 345 bus on falcon rd, should cut bus time down a bit. There are lifts at CJ and the overground trains go to platform 1 and 2 right at the back of the station. This is a great route for the kings road too

Deffo route to go. It's fairly quick, once you've got the connections (the 360 is not so frequent at weekends) and the beauty of the bus rather than train is you can easily get off with munchkin(s) quickly if you need to and not have to faff around with stairs/lifts that don't usually work

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
