Films of Fact
Opening on Thursday at the Science Museum is an exhibition that offers an opportunity to see more than 30 early science and nature documentaries. Tracking the developments from ‘Cheese Mites’, by Francis Martin Duncan and Charles Urban, made in 1903 and believed to be the first of the genre, to the start of ‘Tomorrow’s World’ in 1965, the exhibition also celebrates early stars of science film – characters such as Percy Smith, who produced hundreds of nature films in his own Southgate back garden, improvising much of his apparatus from household items and bits of Meccano.
Science museum, until Nov 30

Dig for Victory
On the eve of war in Britain, 75 percent of produce was imported into the country. With the risk of merchant ships being blown out of the water by the Germans, not to mention the difficulty of transporting food around the country, the home front fought back with an initiative to encourage people to grow their own. Dovetailing this historic morsel with our current interest in food provenance and organic farming, the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms, in conjunction with Royal Parks, has opened its Dig for Victory allotment in St James’s Park for the second year running with a theme of War on Waste.
Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms, until Sep 30
