Stephen Coombes
Amazing experience, very educational but simultaneously entertaining. Would thoroughly recommend and we will definitely be back!
Antony Amalraj Morais
The main part of this building is the Faraday Museum. It illustrates the contributions and inventions of the great Michael Faraday along with other scientists who worked at the Royal Institution. In display are Faraday's egg, coils used by him for his invention on electromagnetism, his lab behind the glass doors, the spectacles worn by him in the lab and many more. It's a shame that this is open only during weekdays but it's totally worth a visit. Do check out the theatre in the first floor where the Christmas lectures happen.

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to realise that I can just go here, rather than watching their lectures and demonstrations online. This really is the home of science, and the live experiments make the most complex concepts accessible to all. Such a diverse range of attendance, I thoroughly recommend booking if you are in London and have time!
