This is Design - Design Museum

The Design Museum is based in a lovely building at Shad Thames, overlooking Tower Bridge, but it has limited space. This exhibition, which features highlights from the collection, is reasonably interesting, some iconic pieces including a newly acquired red telephone box designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott who designed Bankside power station, now Tate Modern, but it is still rather limited in terms of the breadth of the pieces on display. The museum is moving to new premises in 2014, the old Commonwealth Institute building, which will help as they will be able to display everything in their collection, alot of  which is in storage now.
