Things to do with kids in London

It’s no surprise that there are heaps of things to do with kids in London. Whatever your family’s tastes, there’s certain to be something to appeal.

The city is bursting with landmarks to discover, from the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square, not forgetting the London Eye with its breath-taking views of the capital.

If you’re looking for rainy day activities, the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, Shrek’s Adventure! and Tate Modern will keep kids entertained in the dry.

On sunny days, explore one of the many parks, including Hyde Park with the Diana Memorial Fountain and Kensington Gardens, home of the Diana Memorial Playground.

If you’re adrenaline junkies, Chessington World of Adventures, Thorpe Park and LEGOLAND Windsor are also within easy reach of London.

And there are plenty of opportunities to take in a music or sporting event, too: the city is home to major venues such as Wembley Stadium and the O2.

The capital city is a great place to bring up a young family, with an impressive range of regular and occasional baby activities going on, from swimming lessons and sensory sessions to baby raves. It's also the perfect place to plan birthday parties your child will never forget, whether they're a creative creature, mad about magic or love to get active.

Plus there’s a huge choice of swimming pools, cinemas, trampoline parks, soft play centres, car boot sales and more: there really is something for every family.
