We've admired The Shard from a distance for a long time now. We've seen her sparkle in summer sunshine, glisten in rain and glow in the Christmas lights of London. My kids have dreamed of going up the Shard for years, so I thought I'd better take them. Experiences and how to go up the shard, from a bad mother, acrophobe and travel blogger. Booking tickets for the Shard and … [Read more...]

You could spend a lifetime exploring London's free museums, particularly if, like me, you have kids to educate. I've already posted about London's biggest and best free museums that appeal to kids, The Science Museum, The V&A, The National Gallery, The British Museum, The Tate Modern and the V&A's Museum of Childhood, but here's another little gem for you, The Grant … [Read more...]

The British Museum is billed as a place to see the world without leaving London, and it's true. The museum is a treasure house of amazing art and ancient artifacts spanning all of human history and every culture, housed in a visually spectacular and historic building in Bloomsbury, Central London. I've lost count of the number of times we've been, one visit could never do it … [Read more...]

Tate Modern Kids. Art for Kids Tour of the Tate Modern London.

Having an enjoyable and worthwhile visit to a modern art museum with kids is probably one of the harder tricks to pull off. I've only got my kids to go by. I don't know yours, sorry, but mine have zero interest in looking at paintings and art work unless something seriously kid-friendly and incredible is going on. We took the along to London's Tate Modern Museum and tried a … [Read more...]

Here at World Travel Family we're converts to Ripley's Believe it or Not and Ripley's London was a big hit with us all. You can book your Ripley's London tickets and find out more about their dozens of global sites here. (link opens in new tab) We ventured into our first Ripley's Odditorium in freezing New York City in January last year. I'll be honest, we only went in to … [Read more...]

Greenwich, London. Things to do, how to get there.

Admittedly, Greenwich is a little way out of central London and if time is tight you may have to skip her, but if you possibly can fit in just one day in this historic area, you'll reap rich rewards. Greenwich has certainly been one of the highlights of our time in London and I wish we'd had more time to explore and appreciate her fully. Two days wasn't nearly … [Read more...]

Readers have been asking me for London itineraries for kids, some sort of plan to make best use of limited time in my home city. I can't really do that, the amount of time you'll want to spend at each attraction will vary enormously and the ages of your children may limit the amount of pavement pounding you can do. What I can do is give you a few suggestions, lets start with … [Read more...]

Platform 9 3/4 London. Tourist Trap or Fun?

Update 10/08/2019 By Alyson for World Travel Family. Any post on this site may contain affiliate links. If you use them, they cost you nothing extra. We make a small commission.

We've known for a while that Platform 9 3/4, the secret platform accessible only to wizarding folk departing for Hogwarts, really does exist in London, but it's taken us 6 months to actually get there. Why? My elder son is as big a Harry Potter fan as you could possibly imagine, claiming to have read the whole series 22 times, you'd think it would have been top of our … [Read more...]

10 Reasons to Visit the Cutty Sark at Greenwich

Update 27/07/2019 By Alyson for World Travel Family. Any post on this site may contain affiliate links. If you use them, they cost you nothing extra. We make a small commission.

We've spent 3 fabulous days down on the Thames at Greenwich. It's a little bit of a hike for us to get there from Richmond, but it's so worth it for the attractions, history and general ambiance of the place. There are a whole heap of free experiences, just strolling around the area is lovely in itself, but we decided to try one of the paid attractions, the magnificent Cutty … [Read more...]

We love British food at World Travel Family. We love most food, to be honest. We have a passion for Thai and a fixation with Indian, my husband loves food so much he's made a career out of it. He's a chef, busy now in a 5 starkitchen on Park Lane. Right now we're in the country of my birth, Britain. I'm on a mission to share British food with the world, it gets … [Read more...]

Life has gone full circle and here we are living in Twickenham again, on the outskirts of London. It's where our kids were born and where we bought our first homes before emigrating to tropical North Queensland. I have to say I'm quite happy with that, it's a nice place to call home and within easy striking distance of London for big, fun days out. Without all the details of … [Read more...]

Peregrine Falcons in London

On the days we venture out into London to see a new attraction, or just wander and explore, we usually end up outside The Tate Modern on the South Bank of the Thames. No, not for the art, but we will make it inside soon ( it's free), instead we take advantage of an amazing opportunity to see Peregrine Falcons in London. It was a chance find for us, one that has drawn us back … [Read more...]
