Newly created during lockdown, the Bee Garden is helping bees to thrive by the side of one of London's busiest roads, the South Circular. The Bee Garden features hexagonal planters filled with bee-friendly flowers, bee hotels set within in mini-meadows of wildflowers and a central sculpture – Flower Girl, by Jasmine Pradissitto – made of pollution-absorbing material. FREE - no pre-booking required.
Green Turtle Until May 2021
A magnificent taxidermy mount of a male Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas, on loan from the Natural History Museum is on display in the Natural History Gallery. Over 100 years old, this impressive animal was collected off the coast of Nicaragua in Central America and presented to the Natural History Museum in 1906. This small display will showcase the challenges facing Green Turtles and other marine life today and what we can do to protect it.
