The Butterfly Tent

I love butterflies. There is just something I find quite magical about seeing them flutter around in the garden. 

Well I read something on the Londoner blog the other day that made me quite excited. 

At the moment there is a tent outside the Natural History museum in London that contains lots and lots of butterflies. 

The tent is a winding path with beautiful flowers on either side. And suddenly a stunning butterfly flies right by your face. They aren't scary just a tad surprising. It's so lovely to see all the different colours and patterns of butterfly. There are huge ones the size of a bird and even one that looks like a leaf!

You can find the butterfly tent on the east lawn, right in front of the Natural History Museum. It's open every day from 10am-5pm until 15th September. Tickets are £4.50.

 

If you are in London with 20 minutes to spare the butterflies are definately worth a visit.
