I should probably keep my travels in a single thread

:tom_scott: I'm now at the British Library

I was carrying a poster I bought at the Transport Museum and the security guard wanted to know if it was a political poster and then I had to describe the contents of it :')

I'm not a fan of the BL, every interesting room requires a membership card...

Atlas Obscura has a really great dataset but their website sucks a lot... has anyone scraped it and converted it to Wikidata QIDs yet?

[eloy@hsnl.social]

@taavi I got this one but a modern remake with rainbow colored rings and Victoria Line text

@eloy In case you didn’t know - you can get a free reader card (even as non-brit) to access those rooms. Registration is at level -1 if I remember correctly, may be a bit of a wait but then you’re ok for years and have a cool card with your picture!

@jruys oh good to know, thanks!

@eloy It is real good, the views from the 4th floor balcony (if memory serves right) of london are amazing there
