Book for all.

I have purchased several of these books and all of them are great. Selection of places, photos and write ups and all really helpful and top quality. This book could be used by families with children or anyone. As is often the case - if it's good for kids, it's good for adults too. Recommended.

London for kids (and grown ups too)

I have several books in this series, and they are all good reads. They describe themselves as being lavishly illustrated, which I think is very fair. As a Londoner by birth, I was struck by how many of these weren’t around when I was a kid.

My first quick look through left me th…

An easy way to plan a day out in London with the children

I have several books in this series and have never been disappointed. This book is no exception. I have had the book a few months and wanted to visit some of these places before writing my review.

There are the obvious places to visit but then some real hidden treasures to explo…

Excellent Guide. I loved London for Kids so much I bought copies for both my daughters, & families.

I love the Best of Britain series of books & London for Kids is number 11 in my collection & in my view, the best so far. Although it is titled "for kids", there are some great places to visit that this "63 year old KID" didn't know about, despite being a regular visitor to Londo…

Perfect guide for London activities with kids.

The Best of Britain guides are my go-to books for any sort of travel or day out in the UK. As the dad of a 4-year-old, this guide is perfect for ideas beyond the obvious. I would also say that it's great even if you don't have kids. Just a really great collection of things to do in London, especially if you have little ones.
