About Horniman Museum and Gardens
You'll find Egyptian mummies, African masks, a stuffed walrus that looks absolutely furious, and genuinely brilliant interactive bits that keep kids entertained without being patronising. The aquarium downstairs is small but absorbing - proper tropical fish in actual tanks, not screens. Allow two to three hours if you're taking your time; less if you're just dipping in.
It's free entry, which is remarkable for London these days. The gardens are terraced and tree-lined, with a small animal enclosure and enough space to sprawl on grass in summer. Not groundbreaking horticulturally, but lovely for letting kids run about between museum visits.
For a park holiday based near Lovat Parks, the Horniman works as a rainy-day rescue or a proper half-day out. It's South London though - not the quickest from some locations - so check you've got decent travel time. The museum's a bit old-school in its presentation, which is either its greatest strength or a bit dated depending on what you're after. Real value for a free afternoon.
