Our next sketch day will be to the Imperial War Museum, Lambeth Rd, London SE1 6HZ.
This is appropriate as we have just passed the centenary of the ending
of the Great War, but in fact the most
spectacular display in the main hall features second world war aircraft, which can be
sketched from below and above. There
are various exhibitions and displays
dealing with the Great War (and a very fine collection of wartime paintings, if
anyone feels like not sketching themselves). Lots of machinery, and people to sketch. The building is pretty spectacular if you can deal with the cold.

A previous visit with the London Urban
Sketchers a year ago resulted in the following pictures which give an idea of
some possibilities both internal and external:
There are no restrictions as to art materials,
but bring a stool so that you can sit down at the view you want.
Meet at 11am in the main hall (go in the main door, and down some steps to the aircraft in the middle). Café, loos, all available, and should be
relatively empty as it will be a weekday in term time.
The nearest tube station is Lambeth North, on the Bakerloo
line. Full directions can be found here
