The National History Museum also offers special exhibitions, an outdoor ice skating rink (in winter) and a wildlife garden. Admission to the permanent collection is free.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33533 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33520 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33520 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33515 There is a vast array of pickled body parts, the skeleton of a 7’ 7” ‘Irish giant’, the tooth of an extinct giant sloth, and a slightly grisly display of pickled foetuses. More recent additions include Churchill’s dentures.
There is also the opportunity to try your hand at simulated keyhole surgery, and watch footage of brain surgery. Educational and fun at the same time!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33515 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31907 The Art Deco Grade II listed building was recently renovated, extended and transformed and now offers fantastic health and fitness facilities all year round.
The Lido is managed in partnership with Fusion, a registered charity, who also run Camberwell's freshly-renovated baths.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31907 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31649 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31649 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31372 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31372 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31369 Peckham was mentioned in 1087 in the Doomsday Book, when it was called Pecheha, an Anglo Saxon word meaning 'village among the hills'.
During the reign of Henry 1, Peckham was a farming village and the land was used for growing crops and fruit. By the 18th century it was famous for its melons, figs and grapes.
In 1767, William Blake visited Peckham Rye and had a vision of angels in an oak tree. The ''Angel Oak', as it was later called, has since disappeared
The park's original layout opened to the public in 1894. There is a large lake and several smaller ponds alive with noisy ducks and geese, a Japanese garden, arboretum, bowling green and woodland walks. My favourite spot is in the Sexby Gardens where plots of lavender give off a wonderfully soporific, mid-summer ambience.

During the Second World War, temporary huts were erected to detain Italian prisoners of war. One still remains, located next to the café.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31369 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30754 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30754 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30288 The entertainment works for the whole family with loads of activities, interesting areas to explore and lots of great play areas.

If that's all too tiring, refresh with a dip in Hackney Fields Lido.
In perhaps the most urban borough in London, it's the most beautiful and relaxing canal-side walk/cycle ride you can imagine, and with the added bonus of a tour of the new Olympic Stadium. Makes for a brilliant day out for all. An undiscovered gem of a park as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27559 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27534 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27534 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26761 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26761
