Hi Dave,

Yes, as many mentioned all the clocks are up the hill at the Observatory, and 
very much worth the trip.  As you mention you are with your family, I would 
like to add that yes I did cajole my family to the NMM and the Observatory, but 
also to Bletchley Park (just a short train ride outside London) and Bletchley 
Park was easily the most memorable.  There are wonderful volunteer guides, and 
many interesting devices that you can get up close to.  Bletchley was more like 
visiting a working lab than a museum.  I think every time nut would enjoy 
Bletchley quite a bit.

Cheers,

Bob
