This shop is hooked up with organic apples which have nothing at all to with the decent antique selection here, notably ceramic wall hanging owls, oil paintings and a smattering of old tables, none too large. The organic apples sit day after day in a box in front of the shop and cost 25p. They used to cost 50p per apple. I think this shop has been credit crunched. It hits everyone.

History and Politics!…read more Wondering what sort of entertainment this can feed your appetite; then be prepared for a complete knock out. This gallery has original works by famous cartoonists such a Sir David Low and many others. Mind you they all have an interest in the Conservative Party and are keen contributors in capturing key elements that changed the course of the party and its profile. It all sits behind a green door and you have to pay a £1.00 to view the gallery. Refundable if you buy any piece on display. Its split in two levels, the ground which has a small section selling published books and coffee mugs with handles of politicians past and present. And there is the basement with a corner cafe run by the man himself. The place is the brainwave of a man called Tim, who you will find busy typing away at his reception desk but is semi-pleased to answer any questions. Your walking through a whole timeline of the Conservatives..........from the Salisbury to Thatcher to Cameron........

I have been waiting years to visit the Royal Air Force Museum and it was every bit as exciting as…read morethe anticipation leading up to our visit to London. I planned to stay there for most of the day and I ended up taking upwards of 500 photos of every aircraft, gun, missile & bomb in the 6 buildings covering the history of the RAF from WWI to modern day. As you enter the grounds, you are greeted by the gate guardian, a Supermarine Spitfire of WWII fame. Starting off at Building H1 are many Cold War and modern weapons, aircraft, history and technology, all the way up to the mock-up of the Lockheed F-35 Lightning II strike/fighter currently serving with the RAF and RN on HMS Queen Elizabeth II and HMS Prince of Wales. You will notice that many of the aircraft are accompanied by life-sized cutout pictures of the pilots that flew them and their stories, giving the machines a personal effect. Buildings H4, H5, H6 house many of the larger historical planes from WWII multi-engined propeller driven bombers to 21st century supersonic interceptors. Both British and American aircraft are seen here from the close allied relations between the USA and UK over the last century. You will also see rare aircraft taken as war trophies from Germany and Japan. Most have been meticulously returned close to their original condition with some still undergoing restoration. One artifact of note is a Handley Page Halifax, a 4-engine heavy bomber from WWII that was shot down after a raid on the German battleship Tirpitz in 1942 and recovered with most of its parts from a Norwegian lake in 1971. The Hendon Kitchen between buildings H2 & H6 is a great place to take a break, rest your feet and grab a bite to eat. I was surprised by the quality of the food and is way better than the hamburger, hot dogs & chicken fingers at museums in the United States. For lunch, I got the Spitfire Wings with Roasted Vegetables and it was excellent. It was served on a porcelain plate with real silverware and I was suitably impressed. Don't forget to visit the gift shop on the way out and make a supporting donation to the museum to keep it free for all to enjoy.
