Somewhat larger, but still quite modest compared to some of the surrounding monuments, is the grave of Charles Babbage in Kensal Green cemetery.

The John Snow Pump… where they sealed it up to stop Cholera is very small.

Also Novelty Automation (WC1R 4AX) is a tiny interactive museum/wharf end arcade which has some very intricate mechanical entertainments. Some are tiny.
