Reviews
It’s the most consistently good club in London for electronic music lovers. It has an incredible sound system, facilities, staff, club layout, and lighting. The crucial element of Fabric is that it is all about the music. People that go for a typical “clubbing” experience - that is to drink and flirt with the opposite sex - I expect will be disappointed. Hence the one or two star reviews. Just choose a night with DJs you like and you can’t go wrong. I recommend earplugs as it can get very, very loud. Enjoy!
One of the best clubs in London. The staff is phenomenal, walkarounds with flashlight to ensure nothing dangerous on the dance floor or that the people are safe and sound, free drinking water, reasonable amount of bars with no long queues. And the best policy: no photos in the venue, albeit people still get stickers off and stand with their phones filming something they will never ever watch again 😄
Don't be like me! Before you travel for over an hour to get here... make sure it hadn't shut down two years ago, lol
They have band gigs in here on non-club nights. Nothing wrong with that part (the PA is very good, though the room layout is a bit strange, you tend to get crushed against the back wall)
My problem was with the 330ml cans of beer at £8. Maybe this makes sense on a club night when everyone's gurning on pills all night and not really drinking, but it's terrible practice on a monday indie band gig night.

Had my work Christmas party there, The staff are the best in the world, top class! One of my colleagues had too many beverages and the staff were sooo kind, provided us with warm place to get him back on his feet and made sure we have everything we need. Extraordinary service, highly recommended!
A very good place for a rave night. Pretty clean for a dark place like that. The entrance control is vigorous and i respect that they don’t let in people that looks to high. Free water, napkins on the dance floor, security everywhere. I felt good and safe
Solid security that makes sure you are safe and having fun - helpful too. Good bartenders although drinks can be on pricier side of things. Great event, music and the place looks clean and super nice. Overall really enjoyed time there.
Fantastic venue and fantastic sound system. Not too loud where your ears are being destroyed and music is distorted. Several bars to get drinks from. Main dance floor is a bit small, even without tables. Legendary night, will be back.
Horrible club. Travelled a long way just to get kicked out of the queue for being male. Don’t waste your money booking tickets online because they won’t let you in unless you are with a group of girls.
Would leave 0 stars if I could. We booked tickets online and spent over an hour on the tube just to be kicked out the queue because there was 4 of us and because we were male. Absolute joke. Ruined our night. Don’t go here unless you are a group of females because they’ll kick you straight out.
drinks are extremely overpriced.
If you are younger and going out to a club this isn’t the place, majority of people were much older it was kind of uncomfortable.
Music was terrible for 2/3 rooms. Horrid for reggaeton and house :music didn’t cater to the youth.
Dj would play the whole song instead of cutting to the next remix.
oh and the service to retrieve lost items.. I left my belongings momentarily in the club and it was taken to the cloak room but because I didn’t have a ticket they refused to give it back until 6am when the event finished which was baffling to me.
The positives are the friendly ppl we met and the dancer for the reggaeton room was gorg and the garden area has vending machines and arcades. Also less creepy ppl than tiger tiger

Amazing location, St Katherine's Dock next to Tower Bridge.
My room was furnished to a good standard and I found the bed particularly comfortable.
The en suite had one or two issues which needed attention, such as a loose toilet roll holder.
The shower (over a bath) had a good water pressure although there were slight fluctuations in temperature. The inclusion of under floor heating and night lights were particularly appreciated.
Our evening meal in "The Vicinity" was very enjoyable. Staff were attentive and courteous and the food was excellent.
For breakfast there was a wide range of options available, although I didn't sample it all. For my taste the bacon and hash browns were a little over crispy.
On balance I believe the hotel offers good value and I look forward to a return visit.

Beautiful view from the room of the Thames and location is perfectly central. I added a few shots I took of tower bridge from my room and the others are right in front of the hotel. Rooms are spacious but slightly dated but the shower water pressure is AMAZING and I can overlook the slight datedness as the water compensates in full. If you look at my photo, you will notice the Shard right behind Tower Bridge which for me was such a cool shot being able to enjoy the view of the Old and the New in just 1 shot.
Had a lovely couple of drinks here before a meal on a Friday night after work. Nice classy atmosphere. Enjoyed the selection of cocktails and how they were based on different cities across the world
Great hotel. Great location. Great friendly staff at breakfast. Great buffet breakfast including pastries. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. Walking distance to Tower of London, Tower Bridge and bus stops for the hop on/off big top bus tours. Definitel22 our stay here (4 nights) and highly recommend.
Rooms are fine (small but with good views) and breakfast is decent. However, since checking out and receiving the final settled bill i have been hit with a payment on my credit card which equates to a night stay. I have since called numerous time and emailed 7 times with zero response. If this is a legitimate charge they should be able to send a response with an invoice however at the moment i have no clue why i have been charged an extra night! I am writing this here in the hope that someone connected with the hotel reads it and can check their inbox and reply to me!
Very pleasant experience! We got the Mumbai, Dubai, Kyoto and Mexico City. Highly recommend the Kyoto and Mexico City if you want to try something new! Very attentive and good vibes (thanks to Joao Paulo) . If you can't take a date, take a mate!
The British Library is an extensive library with an enormous variety of books from different eras. It also has research papers on any topic imaginable and is a haven for university students, such as myself. The library also has study halls that are split into multiple sections on different floors of the building, depending on what you’d like to research.
You can get a membership for free, if you provide the necessary documents and there is an exhibition as well with many fascinating artefacts.
The study spaces are large and quiet and have computers and microforms. I would definitely recommend exploring the library and getting a membership if you’d like to use the study halls.

The hotel room was clean and specious with superb views of Tower Bridge. The staff were so lovely and helpful. On site there is a coffee shop and a little shop for snacks. The restaurant Vicinity serves great meals and a selection of cocktails. Can't wait to stay again!
Cool place to go to see all things book related. Some displays of some really old books and cool area where you can see all these books going up high. Cafes to get food n drink. Seemed to be a lot of people studying and meeting up - was busier than I expected it to be on a weekday. Good to try and plan what to see if you haven’t got lots of time to spare. Exhibition of old books etc can be found on Upper ground floor on the far left as you enter the premises.
had breakfast here - 80 pound for an omelette, pancakes, 2 x american coffes and a hot chocolate. You expect to pay a lot extra a place like this but the omelette was very ordinary. A total rip off. No disclosure of 15% surchage etc etc
Great museum about the history of London's canals, it also covers the ice trade and the wildlife etc along the canals. The displays have plenty of information and there was an old film on show of passing through London in the past on a barge. It also covered in a lot of detail the horses who were used to pull the barges along the canals until small tractors were introduced.
Over 1h of queue to get in? Any other decent club has this sorted and won't have such horribly long wait. The entire process was also very badly organised. Very hard to get between spaces at the club, rude and incompetent staffing
Very interesting with some brilliant, well looked after trams....very informative definitely get tickets.....we hadn't booked but luckily cut off time for next entrance was 1 o'clock so got in OK....otherwise would have waited another hour...but we did go in half term
Our room was very small but clean. It didn't have a fridge or mini bar but that didn't worry us.
Breakfast was good & the bar looking over the river & bridge is great.
Service was kind, courteous & very helpful.
The location is 5 stars if you're looking to explore the city, St Katherine Docks are behind the hotel with plenty of food outlets as well.
Overall, for a couple of nights while touring the city it's a great location, a little pricey but I don't think you will find better.

A great theatre with such amazing set and a fantastic show!
I would recommend trying to get stall seats towards the front if you are going to see Back to the Future the musical. It feels like you’re in the show, but it may be quite loud at times. The legroom was very spacious and the seats were quite comfortable.

I went to the Fantasy exhibition which is brilliant.
I love the whole feeling here anyway. Cafe, shop, spaces to sit. The Treasures of the British Library exhibition and just the fact that they preserve books

We had the most amazing time watching Back to the future the musical at the Adelphi Theatre. We loved the whole decoration and set up of the whole theatre. The show was out of this world the acting and singing was fantastic but the actual screen work, pyrotechnics and sets were outstanding. Definitely reccommend we took our 5 and 9 year old and they loved every minute 😍
Very charming and discreet place just out the way. Ideal for business, couples and business couples
Having watched Back To The Future: The Musical at the Adelphi Theatre on October 5th, 2023, I must say it was an excellent production that skillfully brought back waves of nostalgic memories. The cast delivered outstanding performances, and the story closely followed the beloved film, incorporating all the pivotal scenes. While I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, I left the theater thoroughly impressed and far from disappointed.
Update 12/11/23
Sadly on my second visit a couple of stars dropped as whilst the room was ok it was below the previous standard by some distance. Unfortunately it seems location is everything in the hotel as the room we had was affected badly by noise from doors closing on cleaning cupboards, stairwell and kitchen so a terrible night's sleep was had. A real shame.
Original review: Really nice hotel!
Rooms were nice and clean and beds were comfy. Staff on reception were really friendly and welcoming on check in/check out.
Whole place was at really a good standard of cleanliness and maintenance.
Breakfast was excellent.
Location is fantastic with great views of Tower Bridge and the Docks depending on which side of the building you are staying in.
Lots of amenities close by as you would expect in central London.
Would highly recommend!

The ticket is absolutely scandal, me and my friend arrived 1 hour before entry time and ask if we can pay the difference of the online ticket and early entry, he said yes of course you can let me do the calculation for you that will be £70 for you both. Clearly the ticket at the door was £30 each full price…… this trick is kind disgusting, we were thinking what to do then the other security guard dragged us to the side said if you don’t want to get in you can leave…… Seriously why these people are so good at vibe killing. Kindly remind everyone to be careful about how much they are charging you at the door. It’s literally DOGGY.
London Transport Museum will appeal to those who have a love for London's transport and the rich history that surrounds it - as well as little ones as there's a myriad of things to see and do here. It's one of London's most popular museum for a reason and as someone who is particularly fond of public transport from London's pre and post war era, there was a lot I learned here and digested and the shop itself has books that cover a wide range of topics regarding one of the world's oldest transport networks. Definitely one for history buffs as well as families looking to entertain their little ones.
Don’t go here. The security are so rude. They look for any reason to chuck you out. Paid a ticket online but got kicked out the line because I didn’t get my Id out fast enough. They was finding excuses to kick people out because they was overbooked. Only go if you want to waste your money.
The hotel has a great location, to transport, to everything. The room was clean and the concierge staff were very polite and helpful. The view from our room was excellent.
Mattresses need replacement, my back was not handling sinking in the middle, I am not going to blame the staff for this as I didn’t complain I was too busy trying to enjoy every hour in London.
I would stay there again, making sure I get a comfortable bed.

Hidden gem in London. A few minutes walk from King's Cross, Granary Square and Coal Drops Yards.
As well as the canal mueseum they also offer different canal boat trips on selected days throughout the week. Tickets are only available to book online.
Images from the return boat trip to Little Venice. The two skippers let us steer the boat and help with the locks. A fantastic experience.

First time for us visiting the Adelphi when we came to London for a short break, and we went to see the amazing back to the future. The venue in its current form dates back to the 1930s with an art deco style. The outside exterior isn't overly elaborate or huge, but it has a lovely entrance to the lobby. The theatre hall is compact/small in regards to space and seating, if you are tall or well built you could find the seats a little restricted in leg and arm room, however this is to be expected for the age of the building. Which adds to the experience rather than takes away for it with a seating capacity of around 1400. We sat in the middle of the dress circle and had a good view of the stage with very few issues of visibility during the course of the musical. The staff were all friendly and helpful with bars for refreshments available before and during the interval. The upper toilets were small, but again, this was probably due to available space within the structure. As for the musical itself, BTTF, it was amazing! The stage was decorated brilliantly to get you into the feel of being immersed into the story straight away. The music pit added to the amazing sound during the show and the stage set production was first class. With a front screen coming down at times to create some breathing taking effects as the delorian moved gracefully around the stage to produce jaw dropping moments that had us all on our feet at the end to give the cast a well deserved standing ovation. Couldn't recommend enough, catch it while you can.
My visit to the Museum of London was a truly amazing experience that left me in awe. The museum is vast, and it beautifully tells the story of the world's most vibrant city. I was fascinated by the exhibits, which spanned across prehistoric times to modern-day London, providing insights into the city's evolution over time.
The museum's design was impressive, with stunning displays that showcased the city's history in a comprehensive and interactive way. As I walked through the various exhibits, I was transported to different eras, and I could feel the pulse of London's rich history. The museum's curators have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into creating a highly immersive experience for visitors.
What stood out for me was the museum's diversity and inclusiveness in showcasing the history of London. They did not shy away from showcasing both the good and bad parts of the city's past, including the difficult times. The museum also made a concerted effort to highlight the contributions of various communities in building the city's cultural fabric, which was truly insightful and educational.
The staff at the Museum of London was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, providing me with a wealth of information about the exhibits. They were extremely helpful and eager to assist in any way possible, making the entire visit an enjoyable and informative experience.
Overall, I highly recommend the Museum of London to anyone interested in learning about the city's rich cultural heritage. It's a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in London's history and come away with a deeper appreciation of its unique character and place in the world.

I agree this is a charming place, with important history. It’s crying out for investment and needs to be supported. Considering the massive energy and development monies that have poured into the Kings X area recently it’s heartbreaking that the same companies haven’t helped this great museum. With so many more people living and working in the area it’s an asset for them, as well as tourists, and really should be treasured. We had a great time, there are adorable models, a life size boat to go in, 3 excellent old films upstairs, and interactive elements. The boat trips weren’t on when we went (a Sat) but reading other reviews that’s a great offer too. Also note it’s very dark in the entrance and looked shut but wasn’t! Open till 4:30pm in fact on Saturdays.
I’ve been there on my birthday and I really enjoyed my time there and thanks to Mohamad, he helped us with choosing the right drinks and his service was really great.
I took the train here to study in between my classes, and I cannot explain the euphoria I am feeling. I’ve been dreaming of attending public places like this. It is so brilliantly organised!
Aside from housing an incredible collection of literature and artefacts, this is a study and reading space with multiple tables and cabins setup across the halls on all floors. People are united within this free workplace and the atmosphere is impeccable.
The aesthetic of an industrial-modernist architecture, the tall ceilings, the arrangement of furniture - it is brilliant. I am looking forward to coming here again.

It’s not the most polished or organised of museums, but therein lies its charm. There's a gift shop, a narrow boat inside the museum, an ice well and information about the ice cream magnate Carlo Gatti. If you’re in the area, take a quick tour, and you might learn something new! It's a short walk from the Kings Cross regenerated
I went to see Back to the Future The Musical. An absolutely amazing show for people of all ages. Brilliant version of the original 80s classic movie. The film that you want to see very well recreated, plus some new and funny additions plus loads of music and dance to boot. Cast and musicians were fantastic and stage production and effects are amazing. Well worth going and great value for money.
We bought tickets for standard entry. But the queue was massive so we joined the VIP queue and the bouncer said we could pay on the door. Then a different bouncer said we would have got in faster in the normal queue and held us back to let other people go first.
We finally went through security and showed our tickets and were told to go back out to get stamps. The bouncers then started telling us we were playing games and would have to join the back of the massive queue, and one bouncer wanted to kick us out completely. One of us was allowed to go in to pay for VIP tickets (which we had always said we were happy to do), but the rest of us had to wait outside until someone came to get us.
Eventually we were allowed in, but not until we'd paid an extra £21 EACH (after having already bought tickets earlier in the night). The whole experience was unpleasant and the bouncers were aggressive and patronising, and kept contradicting each other. The atmosphere was not good enough to make up for how we were treated.
There were dancers in schoolgirl style costumes which felt out of place and mildly uncomfortable, and one of the songs played on a REGGAETON night was "I like to move it, move it" from Madagascar.
SO not worth it for the price and the overall experience was very negative. However drunk you are, just find somewhere else, it can't be much worse.

Had an exceptional meal at The Grill at The Connaught. Top-notch service, exquisite dishes, and a sommelier who nailed the wine pairings. A dining experience to remember. Can’t wait to go back!
Very good services
One of the best places in London for me. It is a cozy place, very pleasant with exceptional service. In particular for the service from Joao Paulo and Cleverson. I recommend the penicillin drink, my favorite from now on.

Excellent museum on the history of the English canals and Regent's Canal more specifically. Fascinating for anyone who likes wandering in this London area!
Allow 1h30-2h to read everything.
Then we did the boat trip, great value for money and very intimate cruise, highly recommend !!!

Went to see BTTF the musical on 21/Aug/2023.
First of all I was seriously impressed with the cleanliness of the theatre and the staff were friendly. Next was the leg room and comfort of the seats. I'm 6ft 5 and was worried about the legroom, but sitting in the stalls, row G, seat 34, I couldn't have picked a better seat. The view was fantastic, just couldn't see the full of the left hand side of the stage but could see everything else which, it seemed like all the action was happening from anyway.
The set pieces were incredible and seriously detailed. But, where it really gets the 5* is the performance from the cast. Unreal show, great humour and amazing sound of the band and vocals of cast. For a person who doesn't really do musicals but is a big back to the future fan, this was an amazing day out for me.

Wow - honestly one of the best things I’ve ever seen. A masterpiece and something that will live long in the memory. If you are a fan of the movie you have to see this show. The actors, the music, the lighting, the amazing special effects and the superb finale (you will need to see it to believe it) made this a truly spectacular event. It was true to the original movie but had some excellent comedic moments to make the time go so quickly. This was the first musical I’ve ever seen and I couldn’t have picked a better one.
As for the theatre itself, it’s big enough that it can accommodate a lot of people but at times it can feel distant especially from the dress circle. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. The seats were comfortable but the legroom could be better. Seriously - you should not miss out on this show.

Extremely efficient and well-stocked library, that feels like a cathedral and doubles as a co-working space (you don't have to be a library member to use desks and WiFi). It's incredible how they can be so good, and offer it all for free. EFFICIENT: My pass was renewed in 4 minutes (from entering the room to leaving it with the pass that has been printed for me). Don't forget your ID document(s) - details on the BL website. Note that the registration room closes 2h before the library, and is closed on Sundays.
Most books are in the library, and the librarians will get them in 70min after they were ordered. Possible to order books from home to save time. You cannot take your bags inside, but it's possible to take phones, laptops, paper and pencils (but not pens). WELL-STOCKED: BL's vaults hold 14 million books, including every book single printed in the UK and Ireland. They don't have the museum exhibition catalogues though.

Old World elegance and superb service. How they all knew our names the moment we arrived was amazing. Wonderful restaurant and bar choices within. Only negative is a tiny lobby with nowhere to sit and wait.
What a brilliant place to spend a evening!
The drinks were overwhelmingly good and the ambiance was great. Our server took all the efforts and did not disappoint us at all. Although the food was little late but Ruchi managed things well! Hoping to spend such amazing evening here soon!

Great venue for music, however all of the drinks we got were terrible, none of them were enjoyable.
Service is extremely slow, we had to chase people to take our drink order. It’s a real shame that despite an amazing ambience and DJ set music the drinks and service are awful.

Great time seeing back to the future musical 🎭. The stage effects and all the cast were phenomenal 👏. Managed to get rush tickets using todaytix app, and the view was decent for being in the stalls and having ample leg room. The air conditioning bothered me a little, but I guess it's better than being too warm.
The London Canal Museum is a small but fascinating museum located in King's Cross, London. It tells the story of the canals of London, from their construction in the 18th century to their decline in the 20th century and their recent revival.
The museum is housed in a former ice house, which is a unique setting that adds to the atmosphere of the museum. The exhibits are well-presented and informative, and there are plenty of interactive displays that make the museum fun for all ages.
One of the highlights of the museum is the outdoor basin, which is home to a number of canal boats. Visitors can board the boats (during certain days & times) and learn about how they were used in the past. There is also a working model of a canal lock, which is a fascinating sight to see.
The London Canal Museum is a great place to learn about the history of canals in London. It is also a fun and interactive museum that is great for families ventures and I would recommend it to anyone interested in London's canals or in industrial history in general.

Please do not come to this club , advertised 3 rooms given 1 and forced to charge £10 to get into a room, bouncers were incredibly rude and decided to try take money from us. Please listen to this WARNING DO NOT come here, anywhere else I better its not even called light box, it's called a comedy club because thats exactly how their workers behave. We weren't even allowed to talk to the manager because we had a point If you have a reason waste money go here, if you want to have a goodnight never go here
If I could give them 10 stars I would, every detail is purposely thought out and their service at the bar was perfect. It's playful and professional at the same time. If you like martinis, and even if you don't, please order one.
What a deliciously intimate and inviting space. Hard to spot from the outside and not for the inexperienced or rowdy, Blind Spot is the perfect, well, blind spot for a quiet drink between up to 4 friends. That’s not a limit they impose, but you’d really detract from your experience by going above. Knowledgable and kind staff, with perfectly balanced drinks.
Get the cosmo and lean back to the gentle DJ.

This small museum has not only the story of England's canals. There is also the story if ice storage in pre-fridge days, and even a bit about ice-creams. But the canal story is obviously the most important here and there is some history of canal building, of canals as transport routes and the competition from railways and roads, and later canals used for leisure. The information given is clear and avoids the temptation of giving too much details.
It’s depends on the event but not the nicest night club. Was super full. We had fun but yeah wouldn’t repeat. Drinks as anywhere in London: really spenny.
Wonderful exhibitions. So many cool texts to see. Even if you don’t visit to study there’s still a lot to explore. Probably on a weekday though as some places are closed on a Sunday like the Asian and African studies. The shop is cute too!
My husband and I decided to come to the hotel for date night and have a coffee and dessert, but I was shocked with the front of house woman, who looked at me up and down (which by the way I felt extremely uncomfortable and wouldn’t class that as appropriate) and asked if I was at a guest at the hotel. I answered no and was redirected to another room, only to find out there was a 30 minute wait (just to have coffee and dessert - that’s interesting).
Mind you I’ve been to so many hotels in my lifetime but I have never experienced such a chaotic, disgusting service and unprofessional staff who need lots of training and possibly some hospitality values implemented.
I would advise staying away from this hotel.

Fabulous museum - thoughtfully laid out and very interesting, lots of exhibits to touch and interact with (the kids loved poking about in the canal boat) and the nicest staff you could imagine. I highly recommend booking the canal boat trip too - we got to go through the Islington Tunnel on Regent’s Canal and learnt so much from the wonderful guide Daniel, and the kids absolutely loved being taught to open the lock gates. Wish we’d had more time - highly recommend a visit!
Overall a great experience. The only disappointment was we arrived early and had to wait roughly 7 hours until a room was ready. In the meantime, we were able to get breakfast, check out the amazing spa facility and explore London a bit. The room was pretty small but everything was very nice. Great bathroom. The best part of our stay was the restaurants and bars inside The Connaught. Also, the candle scent throughout the hotel was great.
If you're looking for a dining experience that's equal parts delicious and delightful, look no further than the Red Room in the Connaught.
From the moment you walk in the door, you'll be greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere.
The ambiance makes this bar so special - it's the people who work there, like the wonderful bartender, Ed. He was an absolute joy to watch in action, and his skill behind the bar was truly impressive. He took the time to get to know each guest and their preferences, and his recommendations were spot on.
But beyond his technical expertise. Ed was also an incredibly friendly and personable bartender. He was always happy to chat and share his knowledge and expertise and his passion for his craft was evident.

Great place. There was a little queue on midday Saturday. Not a lot of seating. Was accommodated by friendly hosts. Great selection. Food was great. They should keep condiments on the table. Would liked if we were checked on a little, maybe it was a little busy on a Saturday. Would like if they came over for us to pay, would seem more professional other than that a good brunch
This is one of the best museum of London.
Here entry is free. But just to register online.
Very big and very nice museum.

They display very well.
Must visit place
Kids might like but explain them by read all the details written over their.

Fab location in the heart of Mayfair.
Very interesting to learn about the long and varied history of London all the way back from 400,000 BC. Free entry, and the museum has lots of different exhibits, including some interactive ones that kids might like. Went on a week day and was not too crowded but still a decent number of people.
A very unorganized, chaotic museum with not a lot of organization in my opinion. Would be easy to miss things. Exhibits were good in places but never sure the order or the direction to look at them. Not enough on certain time periods yet more on others. Needs more structure. Free to enter so worth coming for something to do. Nice little gift shop and there’s a cafe but did not use it so cannot comment about that.
Really interesting exhibition about the history of London. Lots of really interesting artefacts to see and a few videos to watch. This is not really suitable for young kids, but would be great for teenagers and adults. A really great video about world war 2, but it is extremely sad. Lovely cafe at the entrance too. Well worth a visit.
London has some of the best museums in the world and so many of then are free to boot.
This museum is well set up to tell the story of of London from prehistoric times all the way into the modern Era. Each section highlights major events, technologies, and traditions to illustrate the corresponding time period. The medieval section and the women's suffrage exhibits particularly captured my attention.
