Must-see sciencey sights around town

The day before our science blogging conference in August, I’m planning on taking interested folk around town to see some of the scientific sights of the city (followed by a science-themed pub crawl).
If anyone has ideas for cool things we should visit, list them here (I already have museums covereed – I’m more after locations of scientific interest).
So, stuff like the Monument, Greenwich meridian/observatory, John Snow’s water pump etc.
I’m also hoping to spin these out into a series of blog posts.

Others might not care, but I’d like to see Thomas Bayes’ gravestone. Appropriately enough, it’s just around the corner from the Royal Statistical Society.

Oo, presumably that’s in Bunhill Fields. A fascinating place to visit under any circumstance. I’ll pencil that one in.
I know a few other science-history things around there too.

I guess the Crystal palace dinosaur park is too far but how about these memorials to Heroic Victims of Technology. It is close to St. Paul’s in the city.

Another good call, Brian, although only a small number of tiles on that wall are technology related.
