| Our Winter Opening Hours |
From 1 November we will be moving over to our winter opening hours. We will still be opening daily from 10.00 am, but we will close at 5.00 pm, with last admission to our London site at 4.30 pm from the above date.
Our winter opening hours will operate until 1 March 2017.
Also, don't forget to put your clocks back an hour on Saturday evening, before you go to bed as Daylight Savings Time will end at 2.00 am on Sunday morning.
The last thing we would want is for you to miss out on an extra hour's snuggling underneath the duvet or even worse turn up an hour early to your favourite Museum. |
