Latest Fun Kids Podcast Episodes

Woburn Safari Park 

Adam is standing outside a public toilet next to the Monument in the City of London. Except it isn't a toilet any more... It's the Monument Micro Museum, a brand new museum all about the Great Fire of London, and it might just be the smallest museum in the world.

Will, who spent three years making it, shows Adam round. Inside there's a flame exhibition and a giant map where a tiny spark grows and spreads across the city, telling the story of the three days in 1666 when most of the City of London burnt down. City of London guide David Harry, better known as The London Spy, explains why this corner of London is so old, from Roman Londinium to the Emperor Claudius bringing elephants across the sea. And there's a surprise: a secret laboratory hidden under the Monument, built by Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke so they could look up at the stars!

PLUS: Bex and Dan follow the clues to Pudding Lane in a taste of our free Time Hunters walk around the City of London, and meet a baker who swears the fire wasn't his fault.

The Monument Micro Museum is free and open every day from 10am to 5.30pm. Find out more by searching for Monument Micro Museum.

A Great Fire of London Museum in an Old Public Toilet

Adam climbs a narrow spiral staircase, fifty-two steps of it, into the roof of an old church by London Bridge. Up there is the oldest surviving operating theatre in Europe...

It was built in 1822, in the attic where the hospital apothecaries had been drying their herbs, because the space sat right next to the women's ward and had a big skylight to operate under. It closed in 1862 when the hospital moved, was boarded up, and nobody set foot in it again until a researcher found it in 1956. Adam meets Dr Monica Walker for a look at how surgery worked before anaesthetic and before anyone knew about germs, which is not for the faint-hearted. Next door the Herb Garret is still full of the plants they used as medicine.

It is open Thursday to Sunday, 10.30am to 5pm, with last entry at 4.15pm. The spiral staircase is the usual way in, but there is an accessible entrance if you ring ahead.

Victorian Surgery at London's Oldest Operating Theatre

Adam is in Bloomsbury this week, at the Grant Museum of Zoology. It is part of University College London, it is one room, and that room is packed floor to ceiling with skeletons, jars and glass cases...

It is one of the few university zoology museums left in the country, which means the collection was put together to teach with rather than to show off, and it still feels like that. There is a famous jar of moles, which is exactly what it sounds like. There is a free audio tour with ten stops if you want the stories behind the specimens, and a shop selling 3D-printed bones.

Best of all, it is free to get in. It is open Tuesday to Saturday, one o'clock until five, and it is a couple of minutes' walk from Euston Square.
