Heath Robinson Museum in Northolt

Very interesting

Learned so much about him.

What a lovely find in a park! I loved finding Heath Robinson illustrations as a wee boy and to find his museum open, well staffed and well supported is a joy. There is a wonderful interactive room for children of all ages up to grandparent (!and an exhibition of HR work and a further gallery, this month with the art and history of wood carving. The cafe next door was equally well stocked, staffed and reasonable, overlooking a pond full of birds. The photo is a detail from an illustration that numismatists will recognise as a gold coin grading system, still in use today.

Lovely staff very interesting.

Excellent small introduction to this amazing artist

An excellent small museum

Its surprising how few people remember Heath Robinson. His wonderful cartoons and excellent sense of humour seem to have been quite a constant in my life. Think of the artist version of PG Wodehouse. This museum for him is small but perfect, capturing his origins, with and talent superbly. Theres a very good cafe adjacent as well!

A grand place left with a smile on my face

Not to interesting at least for me.

Learned that most of his work was in drawings vs. contraptions.

It was a very nice museum. Very quaint and very interesting. Highly recommend.

A great informative place about a man you realise was ahead of his time with drawings and artwork that is funny at time with a serious undertone, find pictures of Silent Discos, the civilisation of rugby and all drawn before 1939. There is even a manual version of the Banksy picture shreader. There is nothing Heath Robinson about this place.

Very interactive and interesting

Good Art gallery of Heath Robinson, some activities for children were good.

Small but delightful quirky drawings, very good shop. Excellent cafe in biilding opposite, plus lake, ducks and budgies!

Fantastic exhibition of Korky Pauls work on Winnie the Witch. We all loved it.

Friendly welcome, knowledgeable staff, fascinating insight to a marvellous artist. Lots of light, and detail and a wonderful shop with all sorts of goodies. Even managed to win myself some sweeties on a Heath Robinson machine! Will come again.

I was privileged to be on a private guided tour for a group before the museum opened to the public. The gallery is well laid out and takes you on a chronological journey through the life and work of Heath Robinson. The rooms are light and airy, and the shop is well stocked.

Interesting for locals. Some lovely gimmicks for kids. Small and noce

Nice small interesting. Good places to stop for coffee u can sit out said theres a pond LOADS birds. Great for children. Hope it stays OPEN

Small gallery, always has an interesting exhibition along with the exhibition of Heath Robinson.

Ever changing exhibitions closed now but Londons only museum dedicated to Health Robinson

Disappointed at the high entrance price considering there are only 2 rooms with exhibits but will try to return for Open House. Very pleasant volunteer staff in the well stocked gift shop.

A marvellous little museum with a reasonable entry price (£6). Well informed and enthusiastic staff. A great place for an introduction to the quirky world of Heath Robinson. It has a well stocked shop with many HR related gifts. This museum also runs a number of activities that are interesting to both children and adults.

Essential visit for those with an eye for art and a sense of humour. Well known for his elaborate contraptions and drawings; this is a small but fine collection of Heath Robinsons works. You could tie in with his local blue plaque. At the moment Q3 2019 it also has a wonderful Tim Lewis exhibition of autonomons and the like- its fabulous and fun.

Fabulous local museum celebrating Heath Robinson. Also a Tim Lewis exhibition of analogue sculptures which are all working models a must for the kids.

Very nice open outdoor area..with a lovely Resturant..kids play..walk..exercise area ..museum..setting around a pond sorrounded by tge tall , mature tree makes it a very scenic place to spend the day leisurely.

A really nice, informative and polished little museum, set in a beautiful park with a charming café next door. Perfect.

Warm, welcoming and informative, helpful staff.Really lovely wee museum space with a permanent Heath Robinson room and a non permanent exhibition room. Beardsley is showing presently. Plus an activities room.The museum is fairly new 2yrs up and running.Has a toilet for disabled. Museum is on the ground floor and includes a wee shop full of good quality merchandise. Has an amazing ceiling in the exhibition rooms and great lights in the shop.Next door is a really nice cafe and Pinner memorial fountain and park.

Small museum with a single room on W. Heath Robinson and a second room which has regularly changing exhibits. Gives an interesting introduction to WHR’s life as an artist with some of his later landscape paintings.

Very small museum located in a pleasant park in the centre of Pinner, NW London, a short walk from the station, dedicated to the artist William Heath Robinson. It tells of his career and has original art works, both humorous drawings and landscape paintings in one room. Alongside is another room used for temporary exhibitions. Friendly staff. Cafe located in adjacent building. Note: it is currently only open Thursday-Sunday, 11:00 am-4:00 pm.

Cracking little museum. Only a couple of rooms but lots to see. A brilliant introduction to the work of Heath Robinson and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Nice place, the museum is very good for kids as well. The outdoors is great also, with many things to do around the museum

Delightful modern museum. Although small, it displays all different aspects of Heath Robinsons life and work, as well as the breadth of his imagination and humour. Very friendly and helpful staff.

It was very interesting but I was disappointed that only one gallery was open. A new exhibition was opening the following day in the other gallery. We visited around 11am and Id have thought they would have done the changeover after the museum closed later in the afternoon.

Lovely, quietly, delightful. A great cafe for lunch or a cup of tea. Many key exhibits are placed so that a child or wheelchair user can enjoy them but I found the height frustrating.

intetesting in as much as i loved the exhibotion currently showing of mechanical automata. museum itself is one room quite small with a narrative time line of W Heath Robinsons life and a number of original illustrations. Expensive at £6. Nice gift shop with original work by artists in jewellery wood turning and glass. Sits in a small park with a duck pond and fountain which was obviously well loved and used by local families who were there picnicking. Reasonable cafe Daisys which has lots of outdoor seating

The William Heath Robinson museum is a wonderful place to visit if you are not acquainted with his work, now is your chance to see his brilliance in forms of book illustrations, and of course, his weird but humorous illustrations. There are an abundance of books of his work available.The museum has other exhibitions which are just as intriguing such asA Curious Turn, great fun.The staff are great, lovely people.Not to be missed !!!

Lovely exhibition of Heath Robinsons career path with some classic originals. You can see his huge talent right from the beginning. An unexpected treat for a park to offer.

Love the lil museum....so glad to see a proper place dedicated to this amazing artist....must see for all fans of caricature & art in general.....extremely witty & fun to see his work....

Quite expensive for what it is - basically two rooms. But an interesting, well-kept local museum run by enthusiastic staff

Small but perfectly formed. Two large rooms, as much about the man as about his work. Very interesting in many ways. Just nearby in the same park there is a small visibly-independent café which makes a change from the usual mass-catered places.

Interesting display of Heath Robinson work, all be in a quite a small room. £6 was what I paid for entry was in my opinion was on the high side. This does include entry to the visiting exhibition as well.I kind of feel if they halfed the cost they get twice the number of visitors.The museum is set in a nice park and has a café as well.

Used to be a nice little neighbourhood museum. Then the *charity* that runs it ran up a monstrosity and now charges an extortionate £6 for a visit.

Great find, excellent display of the mans work with enthusiastic volunteers running the place. Turned out I was at Skool with one of them!Set in parkland with a busy/good cafe next door.An easy walk from the Tube Station, Pinner, through the park.

Very interesting place to visit if your in the area ,somewhere in the back of your mind you will have seen a cartoon by him at some point in your life,and although he preferred to be remembered as a serious artist it will be his humour we will always remember,good afternoon out and a coffee shop next door as well

Very interesting place to visit. Theres also an aviary with canaries in it, just outside the museum.

Well curated displays in both exhibition rooms - rich in information and showing a wide range of works from this iconic artist. With community vibes, activities, interactive media and shop. Highly recommended!

Interesting to see the range of his work; way beyond the over-elaborate mechanical solutions to simple needs that he is usually associated with. Worth a visit.

Easy to get to. Parking available outside park, pay & display. Two rooms of pictures to see. Gift shop reasonable prices. Café next door serving hot food, hot & cold drinks.
