A good museum actually. Not much in the way of vehicles but the armoured elephant is quite a spectacle!

 

Of course it's not in London so how long it stays free (or even open) is a moot point.

 

Last time I went there was a fella moored in the dock outside who had converted his narrowboat into a replica u boat and filled it with u boat memorabilia - very interesting! At the time the council or British Waterways or someone were trying to depth charge him so probably long gone :(

I saw that on the Grand Union canal earlier on this year!
