· 3 pulledVenues in London that have limited access this week include the V&A, which shut down access to galleries situated on the fourth floor, and the nearby Natural History Museum, which closed off its DC Atrium and West Entrance.
For some, particularly in the South where temperatures peaked at 36.7º on Thursday, that has meant full or partial closures.
As the UK reaches the end of a week in which temperatures have exceeded previous records for June, cultural organisations have been putting in place mitigations to deal with the latest heatwave.
