mechanism - See some eccentric machines tonight. [ATTDT]
Estimated cost Free entry; machines up to £1 each Estimated duration 30 mins - 1 hour Distance away Less than a mile away
Perhaps in the 21st century, the machines will take over... but you'll have no worries about the ones exhibitied in a Holborn gallery at the moment. They might look realistic, but these quirky automata of eccentric people, designed by cartoonist and engineer Tim Hunkin, are all coin-operated. There's a bar there this evening, so you can have a drink while you play: on Princeton Street, from 6-9.30pm. (Nearest tube: Holborn)
