ok, ok, not a museum but I couldn't find much else to put it under. Listed here solely because there are a few excellent archaelogical artifacts on display and a wall of limited info about the ancient history of the area before agriculture, gravel pits and the airport helped tear it to pieces. The rest of the small centre is a desolate place that sorely needs an excitement make-over. Maybe kids like it, but I doubt it somehow, especially all the BAA backslapping; 'oh, look how great we are' stuff and how quiet the planes are now (I write this at 11.30pm on a sunday night with very noisy planes taking off illegally over Hounslow). The view across the airport isn't even particularly good. Good artifacts though, and at least they tried!
