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.
