Today I am taking a trip in my time machine, to see the Great Exhibition in London in 1851.
I am fortunate that I live near Didcot station, so I can catch the Great Western Railway into London Paddington.
If you live elsewhere, you can organise your trip via a subscription association. People living in Yorkshire and the Midlands can purchase a day drip with Thomas Cook.
