The capital is bursting with fun attractions for all the family, finds Aby Dunsby


@AbraDunsby “W


hen a man is tired of London, he is tired


of life,” English author Samuel Johnson once said – but what he forgot to mention is that it’s almost impossible for kids to tire of our wonderful capital, too. Whether it’s a ride aboard a


red bus or a jaunt to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard, a trip to London is a


great way for children of all ages to embrace London’s traditions, while its many museums and galleries mean they’ll be learning something along the way. Add the capital’s countless


attractions, restaurants, hotels, shows and events into the mix, and you have a city so jam- packed with family activities that clients are spoiled for choice. Nathalie Cornish, product manager at Osprey Holidays, says: “I always think it’s a great idea to take advantage of the bank holidays and treat the kids to a weekend stay in London. From The Lion King show in the West End to a trip on the London


Eye, a well-planned couple of nights away will be all you need to keep them fully entertained and enjoying London as much as parents do.” The cost-conscious needn’t fret: plenty of attraction providers offer great cost-saving deals, while family travel cards mean getting around on public transport won’t break the bank, either. We’ve rounded up the


city’s newest and best family attractions to make visiting London a breeze.
