We are very proud of the Bromley connection with Charles Darwin, who lived in Down House, Bromley, from 1842 until his death in 1882. This week Darwin200 launched their two year global voyage, which will make landfall at key locations where Charles Darwin stepped ashore during the voyage of HMS Beagle. There is a fantastic 'World Classroom' here.
We have lots of books on Charles Darwin, but have to say we think Corpse Talk Ground-Breaking Scientists is the most fun!

A student suggested we buy romantic fantasy, and we will certainly keep a look out for any new titles. Meanwhile we thought we would highlight the romantic fantasy we already have in stock.
All ten episodes of A Kind of Spark are now available on BBC iPlayer. We recommend you read the book by Elle McNicoll, which is available for our students to borrow from our Discovery Library.
