maybe a little bit on the young side...


...but i remember when my dad took me to london when i was a young lad and went on the HMS Belfast.... Its done out really really well in there, you can explore all the different areas of the boat and its all set out with different scenes, which even include the appropriate smells to set the scene!
Plenty to keep you going for a while, free for under 16s as well.

The Children may also like London Zoo (Regents Park) or even Madam Tussaurds?

Good idea apart from the fact the French are full blown arrogant *****.
The last time i went to London it was full of smelly old tramps.

London Aquarium.

Kids will love this place, though it's not cheap.

£30+ VAT is for 2 adults

You can get vouchers etc, online you can get a family ticket (2 adults 2 children) £54.
