The Science Museum

The Science museum is of course a museum store, but it's a great shop, and since the big museums form part of Knightsbridge and Kensington's cache then it seemed like a good list on which to appear. The museum itself is loads of fun for children and the adults who accompany them, and the shop continues that fun. Strange gadgets abound, gyroscopes, slinkies that climb down your stairs, puzzles, logic quizzes and chemistry sets. Basically full of interesting gadgets and gizmos. There are forensic kits, kitchen chemistry, first science sets and full blown chemistry sets, complete with chemical compounds, test tubes and even a small spirit burner. For adults there are USB desk fans, speakers for ipods and music players, flash cameras and smartphone extra boosting chargers. A techie paradise.
