Please help me plan a three day trip to London with DS (6) during the Easter hols.
There are a few things we’d like to do, so I’d appreciate suggestions and any help with travel/itinerary to make the best use of our time, as in what’s closest/easiest to get to and in which order, so we can fit in as much as possible.
We arrive and depart from King’s Cross, getting in late morning, and we’re staying in Holborn. The only thing booked so far is a matinee at the Theatre Royal on the second day. I’ve booked an early evening train home on our third day, so we need to get back to KX by about 6.30pm. I intend to travel light, so we don’t need to drop bags off/pick them up from our hotel.
We’d like to do the following: London Eye; Natural History Museum; afternoon tea; Chinese dinner, preferably in Chinatown; bus tour, probably one of those hop on/hop off ones so we can combine it with some of the places we want to visit; shopping at Hamleys, possibly Harrods and ideally Fortnums; changing of the guard; Borough Market so we can get some of Jason Gellatly’s doughnuts! We’d also like to travel on the Thames by boat at some point if possible. I want us to be total tourists and see as much as possible, incorporating fun stuff for DS – a play park opportunity or two would also be great, although I know there’s already a lot of stuff on our list, and it might not be possible to do it all.
Any recommendations for any other activities and places to eat would also be very much appreciated. Evening activities are fine – DS is a bit of a night owl, so anything uptil 9pm wouldn’t faze him at all.
TIA.
