Mark Where to begin - there is so much! We have a great temporary exhibition here at my museum (the Science Museum) on renaissance engineering called 'The Art of Invention' which I would recommend even if I didn't work here! This links rather nicely to an exhibition currently at the National Gallery on ‘Renaissance Florence: The Art of the 1470s’. There are also temporary exhibitions at the Royal Academy on Sir John Soane (architect) and Van Dyck which I understand are worth seeing (I'm going next week). Linking from there, have you visited the Sir John Soane museum near Holborn? It is truly wonderful - full of bits and pieces from the ancient world crammed into a tiny space, a lot of Hogarth and a lovely C18 house interior. Finally, the Geffrye Museum is small but delightful. It displays the developement of the english interior through a series of room settings. It also has a recently built restaurant which is not bad at all. The Time Out listing magazine has a good web site full of further suggestions: http://www.timeout.com/london/index.html Do enjoy your visit and don't forget to wrap up warm, it's getting a little parky here now!
