London

London is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world and you may not think that it is very family-friendly but it is, in fact, a fabulous place to explore with kids.

There are some of the most famous landmarks in the world to visit including the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye but there are also lots of hidden gems in London.

One of the things we love about the city is that there are plenty of free things to do in London with kids if you are visiting on a budget. Check out our favourite London museums for kids.

Christmas in London with kids is also magical with so much to see and do.

And once you feel you have seen enough of London, there are lots of places near London to explore on day trips from London with kids.
