Twenty-six skeletons dug up from places around London displayed and labelled up with the diseases they suffered from and the effects the stresses living in Roman / Medieval and Victorian London did to the body - sort of a cross between CSI and a game of Operation. It's amazing and free (as most of their exhibitions are) and you'll come away having learnt something new (so feel ever so slightly smug). 2) The bookshop - loads of literature about the current exhibition. Plus the coolest set of highlighter pens (in the shape of syringes!) and plastic skulls. 3) Peyton and Byrne - go reward yourself with a slab of cake after you've grossed yourself out and bought some bones.
