What would you do in London with a 2 year old and a 4 year old?

I'd look up on Google "fun family activities in London" and "places to take toddlers in London"

assuming you are staying somewhere central:
London transport museum, then walk around Covent garden
take a boat along the river (clipper)
visit Greenwich - nice playground in the park, great views from the top, you can visit the observatory too
See whatever’s on at the tate turbine hall. There is normally a fun activity room for kids as welll

Thanks I did that but would be good to have some personal recommendations too 😀

I'd get an Uber Catamaran along the river and ideally under Tower Bridge then walk along the South Bank checking out the Tower of London (north bank) HMS Belfast, buskers, The Globe, Tate Modern, London Eye etc. Try and see the bridge going up.

Also the Postal Museum is not well known but is amazing. You can book a ride on a real life underground train which was used to transport post around central London, lots of buttons to press and a soft play area with post boxes and sorting office. It’s small child heaven.

That sounds perfect, thanks!
