As I am sure you can tell, I had the opportunity to visit Darwin’s home and laboratory for forty years, Down House, while I was in London. See more pictures here. The weather was to be rainy that day, but luckily the clouds broke and sunshine spilled forth. Did I enjoy the visit? What do you think?

Sorry I couldn’t make it… It’s changed quite a lot since I was there. You were really lucky with the weather.
