Yes, I've spent many a happy hour in the Science Museum (back when I
lived on Trinity Church Square, Southwark) -- but the last time I was
there, there weren't yet any replica Babbage engines, Edward Heath was
living in 10 Downing Street (and was just about to lose a factional
struggle to Maggie Thatcher), and prices were still quoted in pounds,
shillings, and pence.
