What is this place?

RAF Museum London is a free aviation museum in Colindale (Barnet). It's a strong standing-access day out: step-free access, a registered Changing Places toilet in Hangar 2, ear defenders available on request at reception, and a designated chill-out area for breaks; it also offers a multi-sensory story for visitors to explore. Its ‘Relaxed Mondays’ (one per half term, with adjusted lights and sound) are just for SEND schools — not a public family session — so we've listed this as an autism-friendly-access attraction rather than a booked family session. Admission is free.
