Florence Nightingale Museum

A beautiful tribute to nursing! Well curated and the staff were very chatty- I recommend going on one of their Meet Florence Nightingale performance days, it didn’t cost any extra and really contextualised the exhibits. Bonus, the tickets are annual

Tate Modern

A woke nightmare of exteme politics. I felt unwelome there and uncomfortable as a straight white guy with my 2 boys. I wish art galleries would stick to art not shove their nasty woke divisive politics and gender obessions down the throats of people
