14 family-friendly activities — events, playgrounds, museums, farms and more.
London is a world city that somehow manages to be extraordinarily family-friendly. Free world-class museums, vast parks, and a constant calendar of events make it one of the best European cities for families year-round.
London's free museum culture is unmatched — the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, British Museum, and V&A are all free and endlessly entertaining for children. Theme parks like Legoland Windsor and Thorpe Park are day-trip distance, while the Southbank always has something going on for families. The London Eye, Tower of London, and ZSL London Zoo are perennial favourites.
