LittleBird Top Tip

Why not make the most of your visit? The Foundling Museum does not have a café on the premises. However, they do have a deal with Leon (in the Brunswick Centre) where a discount can be used on food and drink purchases, ask the team at reception for full details. During fine weather, families can also visit Coram's Fields, which is a 5-minute walk away, where there is a cafe and lovely space to have a picnic.
