    The Roman Baths - Part of the Roman bath

    So, when I knew I was planning a trip to London, I knew I had to schedule a tour to this location…read more The Roman Baths are located in the city of Bath. A beautiful city with so many breathtaking views. The site is located in the middle of the city surrounded by stores, restaurants, and other must see locations. I highly recommend booking this tour because you can learn so much and will learn about the Roman history of the baths. There is a self-guided tour that you can go as you wish. There is so much to see and so much information along the walls. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes since the ground can get a bit uneven throughout the tour and make sure you see the beautiful baths throughout the tour. Such an impressive experience and if you are in London, I recommend taking a day trip or two to visit. You will be mesmerized and taken back in time.

    We came here as part of a tour and are glad we did. I didn't know much about the Roman Baths…read morebeforehand, but now I do. It is set in the middle of a quaint town named Bath. We had pre-bought tickets for a specific entry time, but there were tickets available at the door as well. I wouldn't chance it though. The line was short to get in at our time and the audio guide is included as part of the admission price. made the tour interesting and the facts provided were the perfect amount of detail. There was a kid's version too which was great! We were there a little over an hour and at the end you can taste some of the bath water, which was disgusting!!

    Very interesting (if expensive for £7) look at clothing through the ages. Ranging all the way from…read moremodern shirts and ties through the Victorian ages and even a brief (pun!) display of underwear. (Nothing you couldn't share with a little one.) The Museum is located below the Assembly Rooms and so gets a bit of noise from people walking upstairs. It's also a pretty good echo chamber, so have patience for the kids and the chatterers. Absolutely pick up one of the free self-directed audio tour guides. At most of the costume displays, there is a number on the wall. Key the number into the audio guide and the narrator will point out interesting things you might otherwise miss and worthwhile history. For some of the modern pieces, the actual designer is interviewed. A couple of the displays are interactive (for the kids at least). You can put on a couple of the costumes and if you have a helper can even try on a corset. Very interesting and I'm glad I did it! (No, I didn't have a helper, so no corset.)

    This was so much cooler than I expected! Could have spent a lot more time here, but we had a res…read more Got the dual ticket with our visit to the Baths, and this was an unexpected delight. Learned a lot about the royals and what they wore, and also just what people in general wore, how and why fashion changed. It was much more interesting than I thought it would be, and then you get to walk around some of the assembly rooms! Definitely give it a go.

    The Herschel Museum of Astronomy - View from the bottom of the garden

    The Herschel Museum of Astronomy

    First of all, the title of this museum should not be "The Herschel Museum of Astronomy". Instead,…read moreit should just be "The Herschel Museum" because the content had little to nothing to do with astronomy and more to do with the life of William Herschel. NOTES: ~ First off, I should note that I am an avid lover of astronomy especially since I studied science myself in university. I am highly fascinated with astronomy as well as history. This is just to note that I am not looking through the lens of an uneducated person who "just doesn't get it" so don't write me off. ~ 6 pounds entry fee for adults. This museum, at first glance, was dodgy as hell. You ring the doorbell and a man dressed in plain clothes opens the door and lets you in. Then he tells you to pay and go to the dark and dingy basement to watch a video. WHAT. THE. FUCK? However, the video shown on a tiny tv set (placed upon a basic table with white dining tablecloth over it no less) had more content than anything else in the museum. Narrated by Sir Patrick Moore, it told the life of William Herschel and his sister who designed powerful telescopes unprecedented at the time. The video was very interesting unlike the rest of the museum or should I say dodgy house. Customer Service: The employees here made 0 effort in being engaging. You have the young university-age hipster looking woman running the cash register, and the dodgy man who opened the door for us talking to her. Don't bother them with any questions, they won't answer them, nor will they give you any interesting tidbits. In fact, it is quite safe to say that aside from opening doors and running cash registers these people have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Content: The most interesting thing about the museum is that it is set in William Herschel's actual home. The second most interesting thing is looking at the old clothes of his sister because they were incredibly petite. You know there's something wrong when someone's size becomes the #2 most interesting thing in a museum. Like I said, this museum has nearly nothing about astronomy and more content on William Herschel's life. They set up his music room and dining room as well as some old copies of his journals and his old traveling trunk, but aside from pocket astrolabes there was absolutely fuck all on astronomy. Aside from a telescope and astrolabe, there was in fact nothing at all. Not even much on his discovery of Uranus or information about the planet. It feels like his achievements and love for astronomy has put on the backburner, but the neat-o preserved house is at the forefront. History museum? Yes. Astronomy museum? Fuck no.

    An admittedly small museum, but an interesting one, nonetheless. William Herschel was a musician…read moreand composer, and an astronomer and inventor of telescopes. But you know him best as the guy who discovered your anus.
