I thought the giant squid would have been with the marine invertebrates, but all they had there was a (very fine) model. I didn't try asking at the information desk since they hadn't succeeded in pointing me in the direction of more than two plant fossils.
The information people completely failed to direct me to the first floor of the red zone. I had looked at the map, too. Oh well, I'll just have to go back sometime...
Actually, next on my list of revisiting old childhood haunts is going to be the Science Museum.
And thanks for pointing out that the statue of Darwin has always been there - it certainly felt like it had. I read somewhere that they had moved Darwin especially for the celebrations - not that they were moving him back!

It really is a wonderful place.
