Design Museum London: what's on
In the old Commonwealth Institute building in Kensington, under a hyperbolic paraboloid roof that is the best thing about the place. The permanent collection of twentieth century design is free; the temporary shows are ticketed and usually the reason to come. Holland Park is directly behind it.

The permanent collection upstairs costs nothing and takes about an hour. The building is the old Commonwealth Institute, and the roof is worth standing under before you look at anything.
