LOTS TO DO IN LONDON!
A sprinkling of activities for families visiting London this summer… Why come to London with your family this summer? Well, it is not just the recent Queen’s Jubilee celebrations that makes it one of the global hot spots! London remains an international centre of commerce and attraction to tourists from all over the world. There are so many experiences and many of them are stemmed in the unique history and culture that it has built up from Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to the stunning River Thames and Southbank. Many museums are free and transport is easy either on a traditional red bus or the tube system - walking and cycling are also easily accessible!

London Eye and see some of the most famous

Or, of course, there is the Tower of London and you can absorb the 900 year history of it being a royal palace, prison and place of execution - even visited in the David Walliams’ book Gangsta Granny, when she tries to steal the Crown Jewels! If you like the rich and famous then Madame Tussauds is the place to go and see many famous faces including: Shakespeare, Usain Bolt, Lady Gaga and even the Queen. Another family favourite is the Warner Bros Studio tour of The Making of Harry Potter
and you can experience some of the films’ locations and even Hagrid’s hut!
