Thinking of things to do with the children during the term? Taking the children out to London doesn’t have to cost a small mortgage – not if you shop around for discounts – try Smartsave, a website that’s packed with great discounts for family days out in London.
Here are a few ideas on places the whole family can enjoy visiting in London:
London Aquarium
Amaze your children with a visit to the London Aquarium and let them come face to face with sharks, piranhas, gentoo penguins and Cuban crocodiles. Following a multimillion pound makeover in 2009, the London Aquarium has improved in leaps and bounds and is great for children young and older.
Take a tour of London
Do you know your Houses of Commons from your Houses of Parliament? Do you children think the Thames is just a part of the Eastenders Intro picture? Sounds like its time to get to know London, and the Original London Sightseeing Tour is a brilliant way to see and learn about central London. With a choice of seven languages, the tour is hop-on, hop-off, so you can stop for breaks anywhere and any time you want. Plus, you can even take a river tour on the River Thames, and two walking tours with one ticket.
Kensington Palace
Fancy visiting a palace other than Buckingham Palace? Kensington Palace may be just the place. Home to a sumptuous collection of English court dresses, a unique archive of royal fashion from the 18th century Nd even clothes warn by the late Princess Diana, this is a great day trip idea for families who have an interest in fashion and style.
Madame Tussauds London
Get close to celebs at Madame Tussauds London – no one experience is ever the same, so you’ll want to keep going back again and again. To see the changes. Walk down the red carpet and strike a pose with the Beckhams, Prince William and Catherine before stepping into Madame Tussauds’s interactive movie and sports zones.
