Got a 7 and 4 yr old coming to see Frozen. We will have a full other day to do stuff. Staying near Hyde Park just past Marble Arch.
Planning science museum, Buckingham palace (just to look) any other ideas?

The Diana Memorial Playground is in the northeast corner of Kensington Gardens, which is the east side of Hyde Park. It's an adventure playground based on Peter Pan and would suit your children's ages. It's free and adults are not allowed in without a child.

Natural History Museum seems the other obvious one

Which side of Marble Arch? There's Green Park and St James Park with the fountains and pelicans, easy walk to Buckingham Palace. Drop into Fortnums children's department.

Go on a paddle boat on the serpentine?

Kids can also paddle in the Diana fountain (south side if Serpentine) if it's not too cold.

There's a left luggage office at Euston which costs £7.50 for 3 hours. It would.be worth it but make sure you leave enough time to retrieve your rucksack.

Left luggage | Euston London

You can leave luggage at Excess Baggage Co.Monday to Sunday 7:00 – 23:00.Where is it? You find it at the top of the ramp to platforms 16 to 18.
