Next week we are visiting London in a job related matter, I will have Thursday evening off and need some hints about what to do, preferable telephone related.

In advance.

Thank you for all hints.

The Cabinet war rooms will make you drool with all the telephony in it, last admission is at 5pm though.

Thank you, this seems to be a good idea, and they have a nice homepage too.

Wow .....  that is some picture of the warroom ...... those phones really light up the whole room. No dials that i can see , i guess each colour had its own purpose . Very interesting ..... a trip to London sounds like a good idea. I especially like the tin box that says cigarette ends. :)

Thanks for the pic.
