Family-Friendly London

Are you trying to figure out how to keep London affordable, educational, and fun? Here are three great family-friendly London neighborhoods just for you! Do these favorite London neighborhoods come to mind when thinking of traveling to London with kids – Bloomsbury, Kensington & Westminster?

You might think visiting some of the British capital’s neighborhoods with kids would be expensive. Well, I’ve figured out how it can be inexpensive, educational (shhh, don’t tell the kids!) and a dream come true for many families. If you haven’t been yet, let me show you everything you need to help make this adventure come true.

Squash the doubt that London is too expensive, too dangerous, or too sophisticated for your family.

Kensington

This family-friendly London neighborhood is so posh you might not think it’s affordable. But it is! There are loads of free museums including the V&A, the Natural History Museum & the Science Museum. Let the young kids play at the Princess Diana Playground then head to the street market or Harrod’s to grab some souvenirs or a spot of lunch.

You can find out more about all the free parks & museums here.

You can also grab the London City Guide for Kensington and see the treasure of inexpensive fun there is in this London neighborhood.

Bloomsbury

If you only had time for one

museum (and please make more time than that, if you can!) It should be the British Museum. This family-friendly London neighborhood is just lovely with several parks nearby to help shake out the cobwebs after looking at all those artifacts. The museum is so grand, so fabulous and so enormous. It will easily take a whole day, but like a good wine, it is enjoyed best in small sips. The kids will appreciate soaking in a few areas or just the highlights.

If you have the opportunity to spread your visit to this museum over 2 days (just a couple of hours each day) everyone will enjoy it more. It’s rather like drinking from a firehose, otherwise.

The London City Guide for Bloomsbury will give you all the details to make the day in this neighborhood magical. I’ve even got the insider’s information on what you need to keep the kids engaged at the museum. Grab your guide!

Westminster

History, government, the monarchy, it’s all here! Enjoy the gardens and take a walk along The Thames (or grab a takeaway & find a bench). Enjoy the view of this family-friendly London neighborhood. All those famous landscapes! W.O.W. If you are really keen on seeing Westminster or Buckingham Palace pre-book your tickets to avoid the ridiculous queues! This is a great opportunity to do a walking tour and get all those famous photo-op moments.

There is beauty, history and a story to be told around every corner. Head over to the London City Guide for Westminster to find everything you need to make your visit spot-on.
