Horniman Museum: The Horniman has a unique range of exhibitions, events and activities which illustrate the cultural and natural world. Our collections of anthropology, natural history and musical instruments provide the inspiration for our programme of permanent and temporary exhibitions and events and activities.
A full range of events and activities take place for different audiences including storytelling and art and craft sessions for children, and courses and workshops for adults.
The Horniman Gardens is a unique site of 16 acres of award-winning, beautifully maintained formal and natural landscapes, from delightful rose and sunken gardens, herbaceous borders, and ethno-botanical planting, to enchanting wild flower displays.
Set in the heart of south London, the Gardens are a green oasis within the bustle of the capital, with breathtaking panoramic views out over the city.
In 2007, the Gardens were awarded the Green Flag for the fifth year running (the national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales). To find out more about the Award visit www.greenflagaward.org.uk
