For families, central areas like Pimlico or South Kensington are great. They’re quieter but still close to attractions. Pimlico, where we’re located, offers easy access to parks, museums, and transport links, making it ideal for family stays in London.
Hotel family rooms typically offer sleeping space for 3-4 people. They usually have a double bed plus either a sofa bed or extra single beds. Our family rooms at Bower House include a double bed and a comfy sofa bed, with enough space for everyone to relax.
London’s packed with kid-friendly spots. The Natural History Museum is a hit with its dinosaurs. For outdoor fun, try Hyde Park or a river cruise. Older kids might enjoy the Tower of London or the London Eye. Don’t miss the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace – it’s free and fascinating for all ages.
The tube (underground) is usually quickest, but buses offer great views and are easier with strollers. For families, Oyster cards or contactless payments are handy – kids under 11 travel free on most transport when they’re accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket. Walking is great for short distances, letting you soak up the city atmosphere. Taxis can be useful for tired little legs at the end of a long day.
