Down House
Bromley
About
Set in stunning countryside, yet still part of Greater London, Down House is a brilliant day out.
With its unique place in the history of science and evolution, Down House, the family home of world-renowned Victorian scientist Charles Darwin, is a must-see.
Stand in the study where Darwin wrote 'On the Origin of Species', stroll through the gardens - his 'outdoor laboratory' - that inspired him, and peek into his private life as a dedicated family man in Victorian England.
