Best & Cool Science and Space Museums in Notting Hill

"The Science Museum in London was founded in 1857 with objects shown at the Great Exhibition held in the Crystal Palace. Today the Museum is world renowned for its historic collections, awe-inspiring galleries and inspirational exhibitions."

"Now in its 53nd year, this unmissable exhibition looks at everything from elephants in their natural habitat to urban foxes peering over fences, and is a sheer delight from start to finish. Date: until 10th September"

"Kings College London only recently opened this permanent site for the Science Gallery, a dedicated space for showing contemporary artwork that explores scientific questions. Its inaugural exhibition is all about addiction, called Hooked, and previous shows in its travelling days have investigated blood, food and orifices. Think of it as looking at science through the eyes of an artist."

"Science Gallery London is an art-science-and-health inspired gallery in London. The free museum has been open since 2018 in London Bridge after a series of pop-up exhibits across London. The gallery aims to bring together scientists, artists, and communities with three themed seasons every year."

": Row upon row of glass jars, with everything from tiny organisms, to strange two-headed beasts, to examples of gross diseases, this museum can be very creepy at times, especially when it’s quiet. However, it’s so much more than the freakshow that it is sometimes made out to be, offering a unique insight into the history of surgery and advances in modern medicine. The next few months are your last chance to see the museum before it closes in 2017 for refurbishment, so get going!"

"Swanky Barcelona export Amazónico has become one of the most-talked-about restaurants in London since arriving in Berkeley Square, promising big, bold design, exotic dishes and an upbeat atmosphere already giving neighbour Sexy Fish a serious run for its money. Housed in an old bank, Amazónico is South American-themed, with verdant greenery, wood fittings, parrot-feather pops of colour and even an under-the-sea-style sushi area. It’s really rather reminiscent of an ultra-chic rainforest café, and we mean that in a good way."

"Combining rainforest-themed decor, bites from around the world and nightly jazz entertainers, Amazonico is one hell of a cool London restaurant. Plush seating and floral-clad walls create an opulent setting, whilst an eclectic menu of sushi, fried frogs legs and roasted Peruvian pumpkin make for an unforgettable meal."

"Amazonico London follows on from its successful Madrid sibling which has been known to host notable guests - from celebs to politicians. The interiors are jungle-themed and the menu is a mix of Asian, Mediterranean and Brazilian food."

"This west London local hero has been hosting with the most for more than 140 years, but its looking better than ever since its 2016 revamp. The bar area serves booze-soaking snacks such as sausage rolls and Welsh rarebit as well as roasts on a Sunday, while the even more sophisticated surrounds of its dining room host a daily changing, ingredient-dependent menu of thoughtfully constructed classics: a Barnsley chop comes with braised flageolet beans and salsa verde, while a smoked salmon rillette comes with pickled cucumber. 55 Shirland Road, W9 2JD, theheromaidavale.co.uk"

"Seafood takes centre-stage at The Hyde Restaurant & Bar, where Executive Chef Christos Siomadis has created a bespoke Mediterranean-inspired menu that's bursting with exciting dishes. Expect innovative plates such as the scallop ceviche with avocado sorbet, which will blow you away."

"The Hyde showcases the very best of sophisticated modern European cuisine, with its menu of classic flavours and unique twists. Dishes like the scallop ceviche with avocado sorbet, or halibut with black ravoli are perfect examples of this innovative fine dining restaurant."
