Sightseeing
The IWM London has had on a major refit - by Foster & Partners architects - which opened in 2014 to coincide with the centenary of the start of World War I. The Central Hall is still the attention- grabbing repository of major artefacts: guns, tanks and aircraft hung from the ceiling (not least a Harrier GR9 that saw action in Afghanistan). Terraced galleries allow this section of the museum to also show a Snatch Land Rover from Iraq and an Argentine operating table from the Falklands. The already extensive World War I gallery has been expanded, and leads into the original displays for World War II.
The museum’s tone darkens as you ascend. On the third floor, the Holocaust Exhibition (not recommended from under-14s) traces the history of European anti-Semitism and its nadir in the concentration camps. Upstairs, Crimes Against Humanity (unsuitable for under-16s) is a minimalist space in which a film exploring contemporary genocide and ethnic violence rolls relentlessly.

Time Out says
Slap-bang in the centre of the capital, Vauxhall City Farm began life more than 35 years ago when a group of architects squatting at St Oswald’s Place took over a small vacant plot.
More than 100 animals including seven rare-breed goats, three alpacas, nine horses, two pigs and one hedgehog named Mr Tiggywinkle call the farm home. The alpacas made their screen debut last year in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’, in which they starred alongside (or rather, behind) a pack of storm troopers.
Alongside the animals is an ecology garden complete with bog, wormery and stag beetle nursery. The allotment plots grow fruit and veg, from pumpkins and strawberries to edible flowers which are all used in the farm’s cookery workshops. The allotment also grows plants used as dyes for the spinning classes that take place on the farm.
Try out the new café The Old Dairy and scoff seasonal food made from local ingredients. For something a bit more active, hire a pony for the day or learn to ride.
