There are a lot of free exhibitions and children’s activities. We particularly enjoyed the National Gallery where my children participated in weaving jewellery and drawing. The Questacon was also a highlight.

EV charging not genuine
"The rooms are large; the property is getting on but well maintained. I have marked them down because they claim to have EV charging but when I enquired it was access to a 240v plug - whilst I can charge with such a plug this does not, in my mind, qualify as EV charging."
