Kids in London
Expats with kids will enjoy London as there plenty to see and do regardless of the weather. On summer days take the children for a ride on the hop-on hop-off topless sightseeing buses; the ticket also give you a Thames River boat ride past numerous city attractions.
Other summer options include exploring the wonderful parks like St James, Regents Park and Hyde Park. In cold or rainy weather check out Madame Tussauds with its wax sculptures of famous people, and Hamleys Toy Shop for a the single best collection of wallet-sapping toys in the world. Other great options for expat kids in London are the London Eye, especially at night, London Dungeon, with its gory recreations of London’s medieval past. Great museums for kids are the fun-filled Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, and charming Victoria & Albert Museum.
The West End offers a range of theatre experiences aimed at children. Classic shows include The Lion King, Aladdin and Potted Pirates. Another good option is the well managed and fascinating London Zoo, about the closest you’ll get to life-threatening animals in Britain.
A little further afield is Chessington World of Adventures with a theme park, zoo, roller coasters and water slides. Finally, a top winter attraction is the Alexandra Palace Ice Rink which allows for skating and other ice based fun.
