Imperial War Museum to Reopen with a Bang

London's Imperial War Museum in Waterloo has been closed since January for a major GBP135 million redevelopment but it will reopen with a bang on June 29th when the prime attraction will be a new family exhibition, Horrible Histories: Spies, based on the popular children's books by Terry Deary.

The museum's new look will also include a new programme of contemporary art and photography and a rehang of the museum's art collection, while further refurbishment will ensure the museum's First World War galleries are ready for the centenary of the conflict in August 2014. Travellers planning to visit the museum can conveniently book their accommodation on LondonTown.com, where there's a wide range of London hotels near Waterloo to suit all budgets.

The Spies exhibition will immerse visitors in the eye-opening world of Second World War espionage, including codes and ciphers, disguises, camouflage, forgeries and gadgets. Kids will get the chance to dress up, snoop, pry and crack secret codes. The spy theme will continue in Secret War, an ongoing IWM London exhibition exploring the fascinating world of espionage, covert operations and the work of Britain's Special Forces, whose number including James Bond creator Ian Fleming. Both the exhibitions are listed on LondonTown.com.

What visitors may not realise is that the Imperial War Museum is located just a short walk from one of London's secret gems. Waterloo is one of London's most interesting quarters. It is centred around Lower Marsh, an old market street that is now lined with interesting boutiques and bric-a-brac shops, great cheap food places, specialist bookshops and London's only outdoor graffiti gallery - a multi-coloured subway on Leake Street that is home to some of London's most dynamic street art. It's also just a short hop from here to the South Bank, where there is always something exciting taking place - from outdoor theatre and street food to live music and second-hand book markets.

The folks at Gale Street Inn have heard a lot of great tales from its customers over the years. Like who brought them in for the first time, what their favorite meal is, and what experiences they've had at the Jefferson Park neighborhood restaurant. They've heard Arlington Park racetrack stories, expressway nightmare stories, Gale Street police station stories, snowstorm stories and first date stories.

Now in a first ever "What's YOUR Story?" contest, Gale Street Inn owner George Karzas is asking its customers to submit their favorite Gale Street Inn story for a chance to win a dinner for 10 on Father's Day. Says Karzas, "Entries will be judged on the best story overall whether you made us laugh, cry, or had us on the edge of our seats. We want to hear them all."

All stories and photos collected will also be displayed on the Gale Street Inn web site as part of the collective history of Gale Street Inn.

To enter and for complete rules visit http://www.galestreet.com . Entrants must submit a 400 word or less typewritten story about the Gale Street Inn. Contest ends 6.9.13. Winner will be selected on 6.12.13. Must be 18 years of age to enter. No purchase necessary. Some restrictions apply.
