3 Day Agenda in London with Kids

 The London Eye is a perfect spot to entertain the kids and kickoff a London trip

Day 1: Sleep in to recover from the jetlag. Go get an easy meal like Fish N Chips (all kids love french fries!). Take a fun subway (the Tube) ride to the London Eye Ferris wheel to get an awesome view of the city and its sites. Walk to Parliament and Big Ben. Take a picture in a red phone booth on your way to Buckingham Palace. Stop at a playground and grab a snack in St James Park.

The Natural History Museum is probably the most kid-friendly attraction in London.

Day 2: Visit the British Museum and then head to Coram Fields for a nice playground break. Subway ride to the Natural History Museum to look at all types of animals on display, including a large dinosaur exhibit. Head to Kensington Gardens to go to the Princess Diana Memorial Playground. Take a short subway ride to Hamleys toy store for a magical shopping experience.

Day 3: Watch the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Take another short playground and snack break at St James Park. Get on a Hop-on Hop-Off bus tour and circle around the city listening to British-themed music interspersed with facts about the city. Walk around Tower of London, and take some pictures near Tower Bridge. Buy some Harry Potter souvenirs near the theater district on your way to a show.
