We're off to London tomorrow for a few days - would love any ideas of things to do with the kids, including any easter events. We've booked to see a musical already. Also interested in kid friendly places to eat.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Where are you based in London?

Diana Playground if the weather is good

Science/Natural History museums

Kids eat free at Bill’s over the holidays

Great ideas thank you

We're staying close to Piccadilly so very central

Horniman Museum
Mummies in British Museum
Boat trip down the river Thames to Greenwich. Visit the Maritime Museum there. Very child friendly.

The Postal Museum is surprisingly brilliant, but be sure to book the Sorted play area too. One of our favourite museums.

The London Transport Museum in Covent Garden is good.

The Tower of London is great, particularly the top of the White Tower which has lots of interactive bits, the crown jewels are very impressive aand the royal menagerie is interesting. In the holidays there are a few times each day (listed on website) when characters do a little performance which are usually good.

From there (or lots of other places like Westminster) get an Uber boat down to Greenwich and go to the Cutty Sark. If you check their website they'll have specific activities on each day in the holiday.

If you go to the Science Museum go down to the basement for the water play area.

There’s a quirky pop up playground at Southbank https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/replay-a-limitless-recycled-playground/ Haven’t been as it only starts this weekend. Loads of child friendly places to eat round there too and it’s close to the Paddington Bear immersive experience.
