My sister has tickets booked to go to London tomorrow with DN to see the panto at the palladium and spend the day shopping. Unfortunately DN has tested positive so rather than waste the train ticket and panto tickets she’s asked me if I want them!

I’ve been to London a fews times, DS has been once and we’ve been on the London eye and to the viewing platform at Tate modern. I’ve had a look where the palladium is, the show starts at 2.30 and will finish at 4.45. Our train gets in about 9ish and our train home is at 8.30 so quite a long day and I really don’t want to spend the day kind of wandering around in the cold with no plan.

My rough idea so far:
Arrive at Euston, head to Leicester Square for Lego shop, M&M world and probably a maccies breakfast 🤣.

Go to Covent Garden for the snow, not sure what else is there or the best time?

Have dinner before the panto

Have a mooch around Oxford street. Go to Liberty’s to get a Christmas bauble for my Nan, maybe go to hamleys.

And that’s literally it! That’s all I can think of. I wanted to go somewhere nice or cool with ds for a treat for dinner (lunch!) but not sure where. My other thought was a bus tour.

If anyone can help that would be brilliant, it’s really last minute but I just want us to have a nice day, we’d never normally be able to afford to do something like this so I’m
Excited!

New bond Street and the posh shops looks fabulous, that's close to you as we did the same walk last week, fortum and mason, liberty etc didn't do cg but suppose to be nice your right by a good dishoon restaurant near liberty.

NHS is fabulous but it's not that close to where op is?

London transport museum is excellent.

And in the street behind is this place; www.milktraincafe.com/. Who wouldn’t want to eat an ice cream With candy floss while watching the snow?

You absolutely don't have to to go to Kensington for museums! You might have time to rush round the transport museum, maybe.

Get breakfast at Euston, the underground will be busy at 8.30.
If your DS is like my DC, you'll be in the legs shop and m&m shop until around 11.30. It will be midday by the time you've walked over to Covent garden.

Yes I agree. Stick to the west end. They'll have a lovely time.
