Hi

We are off to the natural history museum tomorrow. I know that there is no lift at south kensington but are the steps or escalator manageable with a pram and another adult?

Otherwise I was planning on going to Gloucester road where there is a lift but not sure whether the walk is too far for a 4 and 5 year old (baby is in the pram)?

I am planning on taking the sling but would like the option to put my baby down in the pram later in the day.

Also we have dinosaur tickets for 11am - what time do you suggest we get there as I hear the line can be long?

Thanks in advance !

Hi. I took my 2 plus buggy to the Science museum last month. South Kensington tube station is fine, 1 flight of stairs to themain station and a small set down into the museum tunnel. There are loads of people around who will offer to help. If not ask. Lots of other buggies too. I would get there as early ad possible, in my experience the queue is long even before the museum opens in the school hols. Have fun!

Steps fine with another adult I would have thought: set out from platform to ticket hall then even small set down to tunnel, or set out to street and then walk round to NHM. Stepless entrance to NHM is on Exhibition Road and generally has smaller queues than main entrance.

Gloucester Road is about 10 minutes walk away: not impossible with 4 year old. Other alternative is get a bus from Victoria to Hyde Park and walk down Exhibition Road.

I work in South Kensington, and if I take the children in, I find it much easier to hop on the 52 bus from Victoria which takes you to the North end of Exhibition Road. No steps at all, and usually nice and quiet during the day.


But if you do decide to take the tube, people are generally helpful at South Ken tube as there are so many families passing through.


I don't think there's a lift at Gloucester road from the Circle/District lines, but I may be wrong. I think it's just to the Piccadilly.


I'd get to the Museum for opening as it can get really busy - 10am ish?


Have fun!

    • Hi, The seller has already been restricted from making posts on the forum (including in the For Sale board) straight after you initially reported this. They do however still have access to their private messages so that they can contact you. If its clear that they have no intention of resolving then they will be permanently banned.   I would recommend making contact with the company as you will require evidence that the item is stolen if you plan to report this to the police. If so there is useful information on the Citizen's Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-you-think-youve-bought-stolen-goods
    • That's like the cartoon of the person who goes to IKEA for tea lights, comes out laden with stuff and says "Damn, I forgot the tea lights"  😂 
    • Have you tried contacting the company the laptop belongs to? I expect they would be interested.....
    • Last week I bought a Galaxy Chromebook Go on this forum, the seller was not home when I went to pick it up, I texted him and he found an excuse apologized and said he could deliver,  I accepted and later that evening he delivered the item in the original box ... all seemed ok until my son (it was supposed to be a present for him) opened it and tried to log in his google account, to our surprise it stated that the laptop was property of a company and could not be used without authorization. We tried to contact the seller, and he initially provided some excuses, but after his initial responses, he stopped replying to our messages. I informed EDForum but no action has been taken as the seller is still present on the forum... I am very disappointed
