[Travel] London day trip

[LockStock]

Can any recommend some things to do with 3 kids for a day in London. We’ve done all the usual tourist activities and museums.

Hoping to find something new or off the beaten track. We are staying in Putney, so that side of town would be a bonus.

Depending on how old your kids are my niece loves the play area at the National Army Museum. Free, might be a bit jingoistic!

Kew Gardens has a children’s garden

The Horniman Museum in Forest Hill is a great place to visit and usually has special things on for kids.

One of the best things we did in town with the kids was a trip to St Paul’s and up to the Whispering Gallery and the view from the dome.

Weather permitting, Kew Gardens.

Stadium tour of Stamford Bridge and you get a chance to meet all your Brighton heroes.

If you can get in to a matinee for that Back to the Future show, they'll be blown away. Went to see it with the doris last year (didn't pre-book, just rocked up at a box office), it was absolutely BRILLIANT. £25 each on the day which I thought was reasonable.

Again depending how old your kids are

 

[World of Sport]

Get the No.24 bus at Victoria Station to Hampstead Heath as part of your Travelcard, it's the unofficial tour of London.
Westminster, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Tottenham Court Road.
Me and the duchess, always get off at Camden Market, then onwards to Hampstead for a climb up to Parliament Hill
That will tire the kids out!

Good choice. If you can spare a cheeky pint, there is a pub in the station opposite the gardens.

If you go directly from Kew to Central London (personal choice) but I'd actually take one stop out to Richmond and jump on a fast overland to Waterloo. It's a far more civil way of travelling.
