How to Spend Time with Your Kids in London

You can have a lot of fun with your kids in London at no expense. For starters, kids who are below 11 years old can use buses, Docklands Light Railway or DLR, and the Underground without paying fees. This is quite convenient, particularly if you are staying in Aparthotels in Kensington.

Consider exploring the following exciting possibilities:

Changing of the Guard

You kids will enjoy watching the Guards march with great pomp and precision. Go early so you can find a good spot. You can even bring a picnic basket to add more fun to the activity.

Diana Memorial Playground

Your children will find this large outdoor play area amazing. There is a huge pirate ship to climb, slides and swings to enjoy, and trails to explore.

Museum of London Docklands

You can find this museum in a warehouse that is 200 years old. The museum recounts the history of the city as a port.

The play area is designed around the theme of life in the docks. Your kids will enjoy crawling around and playing with huge foam bananas. They can go up a DLR train or a London bus and pretend to drive it. Bigger kids can experience how it is to weigh payloads or stack a tea clipper.

Coram's Fields

Your kids are guaranteed to enjoy running around this unique and immense 7-acre park and playground that is located in central London.

Kew Gardens

This is another outdoor park that encourages children to play and run around as long as they want. You and your kids can go up the Treetop High Walkway and enjoy the magnificent views from there.

If your kids prefer indoor interactive play, they can go to the Climbers and Creepers or the Treehouse Towers. You can find a convenient family shop and a café near the play areas.

The Natural History Museum

Children find it a thrill to go to the museum to take a look at the prehistoric dinosaurs that The Natural History Museum is famous for. Your kids can also visit the Darwin Centre to take a look at real scientists as they work in their laboratories. The Investigate Science Centre at the basement gives your kids (and you, as well!) the chance to handle the plant, animal, and geological specimen found there.

Covent Garden

Your kids will be fascinated by the street performers who entertain locals and tourists alike every day in the West Piazza. They can even be a part of the performance during the audience participation section of the program.

All these places are convenient to go to, especially if your family stays at one of the Presidential Apartments Kensington.
