How did the trip go?


My little girl said she did not want to go to loads of museums etc and she wanted to go somewhere for fun.

We ended up in Blackpool for 4 days !!!

Looks like it will be the summer holidays when i drag them down there now.

OK, from someone who lived there for 15 years and ended up showing someone around for the last 13 months...

Grab an Oyster card, pay the deposit and get a refund when you leave, they save money lots of it.

Kensington Gardens - Squirrel fun, very tame, they will feed from your hand and even demand food. Take some monkey nuts with you. Good for relaxing with a cuppa while the kids can have a bit of fun.

The boat from Camden Lock to London Zoo and then the zoo, a full day so wear some comfy shoes and take a packed lunch or supermarket sandwiches as food is quite pricey.

Open top bus tour, seriously the best value you'll get in London.

Riverboat trips down to Greenwich and get the DLR back.

Depending on what they are into you have all the museums, the war museum is always good for a special exhibition.

The M&M store in Leicester Square, just leave the wallet at home ;-)

Check for stuff like changing of the guard or any other royal comings and goings.

Half price ticket booth in Leicester Square for a cheap visit to the theatre.

Keep your eyes peeled for London Transport offers.

Walthamstow market, used to be the best general market in London.

I wish everyone would read bramleyrhino's post two or three times just to get it through some thick skulls


Mr bramleyrhino speaks a lot of sense.

You don't even need an Oyster card now if you have a contactless bank card, You just use your debit card and the Oyster fares / caps automatically apply.

Re: Kids trip to London : Thu Apr 16, 2015 3:16 pm  
Just had a trip to London with 2 daughters aged 5 and 7. We stayed at premier inn in Belsize Park. Not too far off M1 and 10-15 minute tube journey to central London. Stuff we did:
- quick look at Buckingham Palace, Westminster, St james Park etc
- Natural History museum (get there early, queues soon start growing)
- Tower of London (£60 for a family ticket)
- The Railway Children at Kings Cross station, with a real steam train (although not actually under steam)
- National Gallery
- Rainforest cafe at Piccadilly for eats.
- potter along south bank, walk over hungerford or waterloo bridge for great views along the Thames
- climb the Monument (£4 adults, £2 chilrden - 311 steps)
- Explore hampstead heath, good views of central London from Parliament hill

Having lived in London for 6 years in the late 90s/early 00s it was a different experience going back as a tourist. The London skyline has also changed during that time, with the Shard and other skyscrapers being built. The use of contactless cards on the tube is a great idea.
