'A free destination for the incurably curious' is what this small museum on the Euston Road calls itself, and it certainly is. Henry Wellcome was a Philanthropist and Collector of art and medical curiosities which are still housed in the original building. I pop in here regularly with my kids, have a pastry in the Peyton and Byrne cafe and explore the extensive collection of artefacts and interactive exhibits on display. Children get a free Wellcome pack and a friendly welcome. Oh, and they learn quite a bit too.

On the banks of Lac Salagou in the sleepy village of Octon, an English doctor, Graeme Angus manages to find time to produce several gold award winning wines at his vineyard Les Trois Terres after tending to the locals in his medical practice. Visit him at home for a chance to taste this outstanding wine. Stay in nearby 'Clos de Fouscais' to buy some antiques or simply for some rustic ambience.
