Travel for Kids has so many fun things to do with kids in London, whether it's climbing up to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral, exploring the British Museum, boating on the Serpentine, making a brass rubbing in the crypt of St. Martin in the Fields, riding the double decker buses, checking out the crown jewels at the Tower of London, or riding horses through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, but you'll need a fun place to stay. Family-friendly accommodations are a snap on Travel for Kids.
Here's our own Travel for Kids hand-picked list of family hotels in London, all styles and price ranges, in neighborhoods near to fun things to do with kids.
Hotels are selected for their amenities for families, such as proximity to playgrounds, restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, laundromats (laundrettes) in the neighborhood, rooms that sleep 4 people (not that common in London hotels), indoor swimming pools, mini-fridges in rooms, babysitting services, breakfast is included in the room rate, on-site restaurants with kids meals, and more. Hotel policies can change, however, so be sure to check with the hotel at the time you make your reservation to be sure your desired family amenities are still available.
