A Great Fire of London Museum in an Old Public Toilet
A Great Fire of London Museum in an Old Public Toilet Nov 2, 2026 9:58 Adam is standing outside a public toilet next to the Monument in the City of London. Except it isn't a toilet any more... It's the Monument Micro Museum, a brand new museum all about the Great Fire of London, and it might just be the smallest museum in the world. Will, who spent three years making it, shows Adam round. Inside there's a flame exhibition and a giant map where a tiny spark grows and
Victorian Surgery at London's Oldest Operating Theatre
Victorian Surgery at London's Oldest Operating Theatre Oct 26, 2026 12:19 Adam climbs a narrow spiral staircase, fifty-two steps of it, into the roof of an old church by London Bridge. Up there is the oldest surviving operating theatre in Europe...It was built in 1822, in the attic where the hospital apothecaries had been drying their herbs, because the space sat right next to the women's ward and had a big skylight to operate under. It closed in 1862 when the hospital
Skeletons and a Jar of Moles at the Grant Museum of Zoology
Skeletons and a Jar of Moles at the Grant Museum of Zoology Oct 18, 2026 18:55 Adam is in Bloomsbury this week, at the Grant Museum of Zoology. It is part of University College London, it is one room, and that room is packed floor to ceiling with skeletons, jars and glass cases...It is one of the few university zoology museums left in the country, which means the collection was put together to teach with rather than to show off, and it still feels like that. There is a famou
Riding the Mail Rail Under London
Riding the Mail Rail Under London Oct 11, 2026 12:16 Bex heads to the Postal Museum in Clerkenwell, and then underneath it. Mail Rail is a tiny railway built to carry post across London, running in tunnels below the streets since the 1920s, and you get to ride through the original tunnels on a train that runs on the same track...Up above, the museum tells the story of the post itself, and there is Sorted!, an indoor play space for children aged one
Sweet Wrappers and Cereal Boxes at the Museum of Brands
Sweet Wrappers and Cereal Boxes at the Museum of Brands Oct 4, 2026 8:01 Adam is in Notting Hill this week, at a museum made almost entirely of the things most people throw away. The Museum of Brands has kept the packaging: cereal boxes, sweet wrappers, toys, comics and adverts going back to the Victorians...The heart of it is the Time Tunnel, a corridor that starts in the 1800s and walks you forward decade by decade, so you can watch the same products change shape as
A Thousand Years of History at Oxford Castle and Prison
A Thousand Years of History at Oxford Castle and Prison Sep 27, 2026 8:31 Adam visits Oxford Castle and Prison to step back in time and explore the city's past.There has been something standing on this spot for a thousand years, and a costumed guide walks you through the lot, from Viking raids and the Norman conquest to the beginnings of education in Oxford and the city's long history of crime and punishment. The buildings were still a working prison until 1996, so the
The Curious Tale of the Horniman's Walrus
The Curious Tale of the Horniman's Walrus Sep 20, 2026 7:38 Adam is off to Forest Hill in south London for the Horniman Museum and Gardens, and the curious tale of a very overstuffed walrus...The walrus arrived in London in Victorian times, and the story goes that the taxidermist who prepared it had never seen a live one, so he filled out every last wrinkle until it ended up smooth, round and enormous. It has been a south London favourite ever since. There
Exploring the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford

Deep Beneath London at the London Mithraeum
Deep Beneath London at the London Mithraeum Sep 6, 2026 12:44 Adam heads into the City of London and then goes down, well below the modern pavements, to investigate the capital's Roman past at the London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE.Underneath the building is the temple of Mithras, put up by Roman Londoners around 1,800 years ago and dug up again in the 1950s. It has been rebuilt on the spot where it was found, and it is brought to life with light, haze and sou
Feeding the Giraffes at Woburn Safari Park
Feeding the Giraffes at Woburn Safari Park Aug 30, 2026 13:18 Adam is off to Bedfordshire for a day at Woburn Safari Park, and he has landed one of the park's very special VIP experiences. That means getting far closer to the animals than most visitors ever manage, including the moment he gets to feed the giraffes...Woburn comes in two halves. On the Road Safari you stay in the car and drive slowly through the reserves, with rhino, bears, tigers, lions, zebr
Getting Up Close to Concorde at Aerospace Bristol
Getting Up Close to Concorde at Aerospace Bristol Aug 23, 2026 24:06 Adam heads to Filton on the northern edge of Bristol, where a First World War airfield has become Aerospace Bristol, a museum telling the story of more than a hundred years of flying. This is a place where aeroplanes were designed and built for a century, and the galleries take you from the flimsy wood and canvas machines of the early 1900s right through to helicopters, rockets and missiles.
