This spot depicts the main staircase in the Natural History Museum. It’s a great spot for photography but it can be quite busy.

Photography Tips

I used automatic shooting here in RAW. The lighting is quite challenging, even with the lens wide open. Flashes and tripods aren’t allowed. Therefore all shooting must be done by hand and experimental. The main attraction, that being the whale is interesting. The stairwell and exterior architecture. Buy your tickets in advance. Failing this you’ll be queuing for hours. Don’t expect much in the way of results on your first day. It’s usually heaving with tourists.

Travel Information

I travelled from Southall to central London via the Elizabeth Line and then onto Kensington station by underground. I can’t remember the exact route. From there I walked from the station to the museum. I spent the day inside.
