I'm also hoping to go to the Handel House Museum sometime soon, it looks very interesting.<br /><br />Susanna - I hope you'll enjoy your visit! My favourite Dickens novel is definitely Great Expectations. I wrote an essay on it for my degree and fell more in love with it the deeper I dug into the text. <br /><br />Niamh - we just had a couple of concrete buildings at my Uni and they really divided opinion, everyone either totally loved or loathed them. What a great museum to have nearby when you were little! I hope you'll enjoy your return visit :)<br /><br />ga447 - yes, apparently the Charles Dickens museum is very different post-renovation! The doors & those black tiles = quite lush. <br /><br />SNJ - cool!<br /><br />bairozan - he seems to have been a very philanthropic guy! He was one of the founder members of a charity to help impoverished musicians, too: http://www.handelhouse.org/support/legacy <br /><br />It's been really lovely to meet up with people after years of knowing each other (online) through work & blogging :)Bugs and Fisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973019615558057522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-27763991919225758002014-02-02T08:17:22.163+00:002014-02-02T08:17:22.163+00:00I didn't know that about Handel, so thanks for...I didn't know that about Handel, so thanks for this :) What a great idea to meet a fellow blogger on such an occasion!bairozanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480725582668681075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-57713746720963086732014-02-01T18:48:05.077+00:002014-02-01T18:48:05.077+00:00The Brunswick Centre was used as a location for St...The Brunswick Centre was used as a location for Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" film!Papercraft Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636999003891184868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-46263035023841861162014-02-01T14:32:21.454+00:002014-02-01T14:32:21.454+00:00Your posts are such a joy I was in Russell Sq. a f...Your posts are such a joy I was in Russell Sq. a few years back and they were renovated CD museum.

Also I have not been to the Museum of London in forever! We used to go quite a bit when I was little and we lived in London. I can even remember writing a story about having to spend the night and sleeping in the Lord Mayors Carriage there when I got left behind on a school trip! I used to know ALL of their exhibits pretty much off by heart I think! Plus I'm sure it was there we did some awesome themed days where we dressed up as Romans and took it in turns being servants and rich people. Though I remember not really liking the food! You've reminded me that I must go back and the other two sound really interesting as well! :D Thanks for sharing :Donegirlandtheworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412492079791451360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-48019124246106794542014-02-01T13:19:25.414+00:002014-02-01T13:19:25.414+00:00I love your posts about days out in London as they...I love your posts about days out in London as they always make me want to visit where you've been, especially as they're all so close by! I LOVE Dickens, and we're analyzing 'Great Expectations' next week for one of my English modules at uni. Definitely going to be checking this previously unheard of museum out! <br /><br />What's your favourite Dickens novel? xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198512907210060352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-68347069722914760562014-02-01T12:50:43.832+00:002014-02-01T12:50:43.832+00:00I LOVE Dickens novels and I LOVE Händel music, so ...I LOVE Dickens novels and I LOVE Händel music, so this trip really sounds like the perfect day to me!

I must return to the Museum of London one day - haven't been there for years and it's probably changed quite a bit. Funny that you mention the modernist/brutalist building you saw. Have you been watching 'The Renovation Challenge' on tv the past few weeks? Last night they renovated some rooms in a 'brutalist' building in Tower Hamlets.Jacqui Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038592471390559822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-57867883861775933092014-02-01T09:11:32.419+00:002014-02-01T09:11:32.419+00:00sounds fab!
