In the Science Museum, look out for the "Making of the Modern World"
gallery on the ground floor, towards the back. I think you go through
the Space gallery to get to it from the main entrance, after you pass
the steam engines. There's an Apple I, the Pilot Ace, a Cray-1 and the
Pegasus. Not sure if/when the Pegasus is got up and running.

In the basement, there are a few smaller home computers and game
consoles in "The Secrect Life of the Home". Then there's the main
Computing gallery upstairs, which I think is where you'll find the
Babbage Engine.
