National Museum of Film and Photography - This excellent museum is completely free and regularly hosts exhibitions and special events, including, in the past, James Bond and Star Wars Exhibitions.

The museum is home to one of the few IMAX cinemas in the UK; ten galleries, including an animation gallery where you can try your hand at animation; a glass-walled BBC radio studio broadcasting live; and The Magic Factory, a fun, hands-on, button-pushing, interactive extravaganza, suitable for students and children alike.

I especially enjoyed the flight simulator in which you can choose from different missions, mine being to battle some alien star ships and what do you know, I won!
