Immerse yourself in gaming history as the Science Museum opens a games arcade

A large basement space in the Science Museum now echoes to the sounds of Space Invaders to Mario Kart as the whole space has been filled with arcade and computer games.

Whoa that's awesome. If it's not immediately clear from the title, this is the Science Museum in London. If you've ever in London, I'd highly recommend it - loads to see (including an IMAX). This arcade looks huge and I love how they've split it into different eras and genres.

It’s a really great museum, ands it’s free entry! Lots of things to see, from industrial history to space exploration and much more.

Plus the location of the museum is right next to the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, 2 of London’s other big museums. It’s a great place to go if you are ever visiting London.

It didn't say ANYWHERE ON THAT PAGE OR IN THE TITLE OR POST which science museum this is, only "the science museum"

IanVisits is largely a blog about London, but of course that's no excuse for my negligence. I've edited it into the title.

That’s because Ian Visits is a London-specific blog.

And in London this is The Science Museum.

Similarly The Natural History Museum (star of Paddington)
