When I heard all the concern about its closing, I didn't realise it was
the only one in London. Cleveland (about 1/20 the size of London) has
one and another about 50 miles away in Canton.

What's the nearest one to London now?

Blimey, I never realised that had happened. I visited that when I was a
child, and now of course regret never going back.

However, Patrick's article suggests we haven't missed much anyway. What
a shame though, I know you don't want to 'flog a dead horse' as such,
but that place was historic if nothing else.

My last visit to the London Planetarium was with an erstwhile
schoolfriend and his then 11-year-old son. I told the lad his next visit
there was likely to be with his own kids. Sadly he won't be able even to
do this.

We saw a very dumbed down film projected onto the dome. Tussaud's gave
us a 15 minute show, then turfed us out. It's hardly surprising the
Planetarium had few takers.
