Sat, 18 October 2008 ** Parental Guidance - this episode shows vivid high definition pictures of dinosaur skeletons which some small children may find scary. **
The Natural History Museum (South Kensington tube station) houses one of the largest collections of dinosaur skeletons and fossils in the world.
The museum brings these great beasts from millions of years ago to 'life' either by rebuilding their skeletons or by using 3D life-sized animated models.
This episode reveals just some of the best exhibits - but there are many more and you'll need a whole day to explore the entire museum. The museum is free for everyone to enter and enjoy.
London's museums are amongst the largest and most respected in the world; great labyrinthine buildings housing treasures from history.
I'll be visiting many of the great museums in the capital over the coming weeks so that if you come to London, you'll know to put these great cathedrals of history on top of your 'must see' list.

Fri, 3 October 2008 September has been a busy month for me with rare opportunities for filming (hopefully October will be a lot better!)
However I took the opportunity of break in business to grab the camera and take a walk down Whitehall, home of the offices of state of the UK Government.
The sense of power is palpable in this road, which travels from Trafalgar Square almost to Parliament Square. The great buildings of government feel strong and secure alongside the traditions of old - a guard standing in front of Horseguards Parade.
We also peep through the doors of an wonderful old public house serving drinks in an ornate wooden interior.
I intend to get this podcast back on schedule very soon, so it's best if you subscribe using a provider such as iTunes which will automatically download the latest episodes as they appear in the schedule. Comments[1] |
