Seconded. Did both last August and it was great. The amount of restored hardware that's operational is impressive and docents are knowledgeable. If you get to the computing museum, having a chat with whoever is in the Colossus gallery is worth your time.
Admission to BP is £17.75 and the Computing Museum is £7.50. Both are well worth the admission price plus the train ride.
