Need a day out in London, 4 adults. Children ranging in age from foetus to 14.

[EccentricaGallumbits]

Half term so want to avoid the hell that is museums. tate modern bores me senseless.

weather will probably be cold and hopefuly not raining.

Children age, 6 months, 3 years, 12 and 13.

any ideas?

London aquarium?

I know tecnically this is a museum but we went and were the only 1s there.

The cabinet war rooms and churchill museaum- it is fab and not so well known as some museums.

Covent Garden is FANTASTIC and great to explore.

The London eye -great on a clear day.

The open top bus tours are also good.

thanks.

Have to find somewhere to dissude Dsis from the rainforest cafe which looks ghastly.

London Eye
Covent Garden
River trip and a look at the living statues etc down by the eye.
Walk past Number 10 etc.
Greenwich?

Lots of Pizza Express vouchers around at the mo: got to be better than The Rainforest Cafe.

I agree we did the Churchill Cabinet Rooms in October half term with DS13 and DD10. it was really good, kids got in for free and we used a 2 for 1 voucher we printed off internet before we went.
Took my DD to London today and she wanted to try a Sushi bar for lunch, We loved it and so did she. x

Christina- I agree the museum of childhood is fab

Museum of Childhood is fab, but not sure it'd be great for the teens.

There's stacks on at the Southbank Centre this week - worth checking out their Imagine festival.

Horniman Museum comes highly recommended - haven't made it there yet, but it's on the list .

If you went to Covent Garden, the Transport Museum is great - and free for under 16's I think.

Sorry, have just realised I've mentioned 4 places and 3 of them are museums .

Have had another idea just to explore go to fortnam and maison and harrods- you never know who you might see.

Probably a bit late as half term nearly over but remember a friend raving about the amphibious vehicle tours. Think they drive around Whitehall then go into the Thames and float along the river.

Just checked amphibious vehicles on the web, they are called Duck Tours.

Noticed there's another thread called Ducks vs Double deckers, gives good feedback for the Duck.
