<\/figure>\n\n\nKid-friendly London museums (with free entry!) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Natural History Museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From the gigantic blue whale skeleton welcoming you in, to the animatronic dinosaur exhibits and the escalator ride through the moon, this museum<\/a> is a place to let your child\u2019s imagination run wild as they discover natural history at its very best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: South Kensington <\/p>\n\n\n\n Right next to the Natural History Museum, you\u2019ll find the finest establishment in the UK dedicated to science. At the Science Museum<\/a>, space, aviation, psychology, household technology, biology and so much more are all presented in a kid-friendly way that even adults will enjoy and learn from. Win-win! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: South Kensington<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the crowds head off to the British Museum, join the locals in the know at the Museum of London<\/a>. Your family will embark on a chronological adventure through the city\u2019s history from early human settlements to the present day with interactive displays and an impressive range of optional paid exhibits on the Vikings and Tudors. Check out the view down to the ancient Roman wall, too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Barbican <\/p>\n\n\n\n Though closed right now for renovations, the Museum of Childhood<\/a> is definitely worth checking out when they reopen later in 2020. With toys and games from many eras of history, this is not just a fun trip for young ones, but a seriously nostalgic journey back in time for the grown-up \u201ckids,\u201d too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Bethnal Green <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the largest city farms in Europe, this<\/a> is the place to come for some country feels in London. Packed full of more than 100 types of farm animals, from chickens and pigs to donkeys and llamas, they even have an amazing kitchen open until 3 p.m. serving properly sourced full English breakfasts<\/a> and toasted sandwiches complete with eggs freshly laid on the farm itself. Get there on the Docklands Light Railway<\/a> which, as a driverless train, is an experience in itself if you sit at the front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Crossharbour DLR<\/p>\n\n\n\n Set near the gardens opened in honor of the late Princess of Wales, this playground<\/a>\u2014complete with a Peter Pan pirate ship theme\u2014has a sensory trail, swings, climbing frames and various other places to let off steam with local kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Queensway<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the London bike rental program<\/a>, you can find bikes dotted all around the city to take you off on journeys through parks and on cycle superhighways. No advance booking is necessary; just pay at the docking station and remember, the first 30 minutes are free! This is an excellent way to see the city at your own pace with your family\u2026 just remember that here in the UK, we drive on the \u201cwrong\u201d side! <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the largest and oldest toy shops in the world, Hamleys<\/a> on Regent Street is six floors of pure play heaven with toy demonstrators and performers all over the shop. Be wary, though\u2014what started as a free excursion could get rather expensive by the second floor if you\u2019re not careful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Oxford Circus <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fear not: there\u2019s no need to spend oodles of money on the Warner Bros experience for your little Hufflepuff. At King\u2019s Cross Station, you can reenact Harry\u2019s first and bumpy arrival on the famous platform<\/a> for free! Go early before the crowds get there to have it to yourself\u2014and don\u2019t forget your Hogwarts scarf for the action shot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: King\u2019s Cross St. Pancras<\/p>\n\n\n\n An ice cream shop powered by liquid nitrogen which gives the classic treat an unbelievable texture, Chin Chin<\/a> has three branches in London. They offer diverse tastes like burnt caramel and Parma violet, and even have vegan options! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Camden, Tottenham Court or Shoreditch High Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most iconic markets in the world, Borough Market<\/a> is a fantastic place for kids to try an entire world of snacks. Be it tastes of British venison salami, a roast pork sandwich, applesauce, insanely good doughnuts from Bread Ahead, vegan and gluten free chocolate brownies, Scotch eggs, curries or pasta, this market is sure to have something to please everyone\u2026 even the pickiest of eaters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: London Bridge <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yep, an entire cafe dedicated to cereals from across the world. While it definitely first opened to fill the daytime cereal cravings of Brick Lane\u2019s hipsters, Cereal Killer Caf\u00e9<\/a> is a place where the kids will still feel at home with the 120 types of cereal to choose from<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Shoreditch High Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on NYC-style pizzerias, Voodoo Ray\u2019s<\/a> use the very best Italian ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, Caputo flour and excellent buffalo mozzarella\u2014all baked together in 22-inch pies and sold by the gargantuan slice. Nestled in Shoreditch\u2019s Boxpark, this is an excellent quick snack if visiting Brick Lane and Spitalfields market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Shoreditch High Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n With branches in Camden and Shoreditch, Poppies<\/a> is the ultimate in kitsch fish-and-chips restaurants. Staff are dressed in vintage uniforms, the battered fish or haddock is spot on, the mushy peas are perfect, the jukebox is second to none\u2014and hey, they even have a very reasonably priced kids menu. Enjoy the classic British candy they bring you with the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tube stop<\/strong>: Camden or Shoreditch High Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those with gastronomically adventurous little folk, look no further than Tredwells<\/a> from Gordon Ramsay alum Marcus Wareing. A high-end experience at an accessible price, they offer the \u201cCulinary Kids\u201d menu with six courses including a non-alcoholic cocktail; an antipasto; a starter; a main of hake, salsa verde and purple sprouting broccoli; and two\u2014yes, two!\u2014desserts at a mere \u00a317. Bargain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Dinosaur](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsz_kafai-liu-dopbjgynpwy-unsplash-1.jpg\")
