In Philadelphia, USA, I visited an exhibition on Benjamin Franklin who invented the lighting conductor and bifocals. He is the man I quote continually.
His face is familiar. Why? probably because you see him on American dollar notes. He was the founding father of the United States of America and lived in London from 1757 to 1775.
In London you can visit the Benjamin Franklin House. If you are planning a visit, or if you are not planning a visit anywhere except the internet, look at the website and watch a brief video about Benjamin's scientific studies on subjects such as The Gulf Stream.
I was reminded about the Benjamin Franklin House by a leaflet Around London, a little map of Inspiration, a free map from the National Trust, which lists 29 attractions in London.
