Who’d ever have believed people would queue for science? But queue-they-do for the monthly Lates evening at the Science Museum. Tonight’s event will be no exception as curious adults wait in line for a chance to tour the museum’s treasures with live music, wine and NO CHILDREN.

This month’s theme matches up to the venue’s new gallery, which focuses on genetics, neurobiology and how these lead to our sense of identity. (Keep an eye out for a table full of knitted people – members of Stitch London, including my wife, have crafted woollen versions of themselves for the exhibition.)

Expect games, quizzes, voice-altering gizmos, face-morphing gadgets, few tourists and, did I say it already?, NO KIDS. The fun and games start at 6.45pm and last till 10pm. Entrance is free.
