Eerie animals of London is a free family storytelling activity at London Museum Docklands, with sessions of 30 minutes each. Storyteller Olivia Armstrong explores the folklore of some of London's strangest creatures. Listeners hear the tale of the loneliest griffin in the world and the slightly spooky legend of a frozen chicken, and can discover what other mythical creatures roam London's streets. The drop-in sessions are for families, ages 5 and up, with children supervised at all times.
