Children's Tours

N.B. All below have entrance charges.

The Tower of London is always a favourite with its tales of murder, kings and queens, and famous prisoners. The Crown Jewels are the greatest attraction to the Tower, but there are also wonderful suits of armour. Climbing up on the battlements is a great way to stretch legs and exercise, and with luck see a display of sword fighting.

HMS Belfast is a 2nd World War battle cruiser, which last saw action in the Korean war can be explored extensively.

London Transport Museum with its collection of old trams, buses and underground trains, delights all, particularly those who always hankered to drive trains; they can try out the "tube" train on a simulator.

Imperial War Museum is a treasure house with its guns tanks and submarines. The Trench Experience offers a feel for what it would have been like to be a 1st WW soldier in the trenches of France and Flanders. The Holocaust Museum is here, but that is not recommended for smaller children.

The Natural History Museum is one of the best loved museums of London. Walk through the Dinosaur Gallery and experience the extremely lifelike animated models of these extinct creatures. In the Earth Galleries you can experience an actual earthquake ( but safely).

The Science Museum, which connects with the Natural History Museum, is truly amazing, much of it full of interactive devices and perfect for children who want to get involved.

Above museums are free, as are most other national museums.

It is recommended not to attempt to do more than three any such visits in one day, and stops to "stretch legs ", photographs, strongly recommended.
