My Nana really likes to hear about the darker side of London’s history, so today we went to the Old Operating Theatre, which is located in an attic near London Bridge.

You have to climb up a tiny windy old staircase to get to the top but it's worth it as the museum is filled with lots of little trinkets and interesting things to look at.

I really like this set of tools, which nurses use to clip on to their belts. I think this could be super handy for crafting.

You can still see the blood stains on the old operating table. We stayed to watch a lecture about healthcare in the dark ages.

I love how simple the snail trail game to keep kids occupied was.

Afterwards we had lunch at the Starbucks next to the Golden Hynd.

We then had a look around the Clink Prison.

Did you know that prisoners use to have to pay for their own imprisonment and if you had a ball and chain, you were allowed to leave the prison and see friends and family?

We then had a little look around The Globe.

We spent the rest of the day on the South Bank and did a bit of sightseeing.
