MrBen Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 #1. Avoid the Horniman Museum....especially if you have two babies in tow...it pains me to say anymore.Edit: Even a cat pickled in brine would have failed to cheer the likes of KeeyBreeks yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBen Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 #2. Never attempt to drive London to Cornwall on the Friday of the August bank holiday...or try to return on the Monday at about 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBen Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 #3. Avoid Westfield Stratford AT ALL COSTS on a Bank holiday Monday....even if it has the only Apple Store in London that can fix your problem. Actually buying a new Mac will be less painful.

Jeremy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 We were at the Horniman yesterday afternoon (with a baby-slash-toddler). Not too busy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 If both your kids are ill, it will be a really shit weekend and you will be ridiculously happy to be alone on the train to work cone Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit it 1.30-3pm ish and the 30 mins queue for the toilet/baby changing, 20 min wait for a drink and 600 buggies circling the over stuffed walrus were enough for me....

Jah Lush Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Take my advice. Never leave the house on a Bank Holiday weekend. Stock up with provisions and bed in for the long haul because believe me anywhere you go will be full of cunts.NB: And presumably now that everyone has gone back to work it is safe enough now for layabouts like me to venture out and about.

Very short queue at the cafe, lots of free tables. Museum itself wasn't too bad either - didn't go to the Natural History section though, I think I've seen the manky stuffed animals enough times to last me a lifetime. Didn't need the baby changing (she seemed to decide a while ago that she only likes to poo at home). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Much as I love Hornimans, I bloody hate that cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Inside is a bit school canteenish, but sitting outside is pleasant enough. Cake at ?3 a slice seems steep, but the slices are huge and are really enough for two (although of course I did not share my piece). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
