Make the Natural History Museum the theme of a family day in London
The spectacular Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition that is currently running at the Natural History Museum can be followed by A Blooming British Afternoon Tea at the Royal Lancaster…
The Natural History Museum is currently home to an impressive exhibition that showcases secrets of the natural world. The world’s best wildlife photography is on show, with many outstanding pictures that you can admire. The exhibition opened a few weeks ago and it includes images that are impressive, dramatic and raw.
Many spectacular moments in different climates around the globe have been captured by a number of talented photographers. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is a wonderful opportunity for all family members to learn about the habitats and species that are featured in each image.
The fascinating descriptions by each picture explain how the photographers were able to capture the fleeting moments in the wild. Among the highlights are an image by Gabriella Comi, where a tense stand-off between a lion and a cobra is documented. Meanwhile, the winner of the “10 Years and Under” category, Jamie Young, photographed a spider inside its dew-covered, silken retreat.
The Natural History Museum is a treat for all visitors and after the exhibition, you can enjoy exploring the other areas of the museum. Pre-booking tickets will allow you to plan a day in London, with some other activities included too.
To ensure that the whole theme of your day in London is focused on the Natural History Museum, we recommend booking Afternoon Tea at the Royal Lancaster. Once you have visited the exhibition, you can enjoy a beautiful walk through Hyde Park to this luxurious hotel. A Blooming British Afternoon Tea takes inspiration from artworks that are held within the Natural History Museum’s archives.
The Afternoon Tea pays homage to British flora and fauna. Locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients are used to present a breathtaking collection of treats. There is also a menu for children to enjoy as well (pictured above), which features an adorable blackberry Ladybird among the many delicious sweet and savoury offerings.
This special collaboration combines the Museum’s expertise and work to protect the natural world with the hotel’s ongoing sustainability efforts and shared passion for pollinators.
For those who wish to stay overnight in central London, the Royal Lancaster boasts a collection of outstanding family-friendly suites that have stunning views of the city’s skyline.
