London with kids

If you’re going to the Monument you should do the Sky Garden which is just across the road. You do need to book but it’s free. The kids will love the views. Better views than from the London Eye.

Tried to book but fully booked. Done it before tho and yes it’s great.

Quick update in case you’re interested. We went, we saw, we had a great time. Arrived after lunch. Drop bags at hotel. Quick walk to Nat History museum. Loved it!!! Dinosaurs were fab. Then hop on/off bus for an hour. Bought food at M&S. Back to hotel. Eat, shower bed for kids. Not long after for us. Next day up early. Breakfast, pack. Left big bags at hotel. Tube to Buck Palace. (Youngest disappointed it wasn’t more sparkly). Walk thro St James park. By chance hit on changing of guard. Fab. Walk to Westminster bridge. Boat tour to Tower - again fab. Sandwiches on a bench. Found hop bus and had great tour with a brilliant guide commentating. Off at nearest stop to get tube back to hotel. Bags collected, back to train station, quick McDonald’s and home. Had a wonderful time. Kids loved it. Many memories made. Thanks for all the tips. Did initial photos as suggested and put air tags on chains round necks too. 10/10 😊

That sounds perfect! You will be tired now.

If you are planning on taking them on the tube they will need their own little travel card to use it.

No they travel free with paying adult. We just went through the bigger gates with a child each. Used our debit cards to pay. No problem and relatively cheap compared to Sheffield trams and buses.

Definitely. Feet up today. It’s raining again so good excuse 😉

Polar22 thanks for letting us know the tips helped and it sounds like you all had a great time!

Natural History Museum. (Next to Science Museum).
Maybe the V n A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.
How about the Egyptian mummies in the British Museum?
Don’t plan to do too much as the little ones will get tired.
