London people give me some ideas.
We have had some real luck and are going to be house sitting a friend’s house in Central London for a week in August. It will be mainly me with DS (15) and DD (12). DH will be around for a couple of nights but then will have to go back to work.
We’re from up North and rural so this is very exciting. What should we be doing and seeing? We won’t have loads of spare cash so need to choose carefully and I’m particularly keen to know about free, cheap, unusual stuff. DS is into film, history, music, theatre and politics. DD is a bit more tricky and I want to make sure she gets something from the trip. She’s ASD with sensory issues and loves football, sport, outdoor activities, science stuff.
She’ll struggle with noise and crowds apart from in short bursts but as we are central I’m hoping we’ll be able to get back to the house for downtime as needed. I’m going to be alone with them a lot so need stuff they’ll both like. I’m happy to send DS off on his own a bit if we’re close by. We have done some of the museums before and will try to see a show if theatres are open.
How can I make this a week to remember? We’re unlikely to ever be able to stay so centrally for so long ever again…
