Kids at Covent Garden
  Covent Garden Market – Covent Garden has lots of kid-friendly eats in an informal setting, including fresh-baked cookies and ice cream. Fun shops for kids are the London Transport Museum Shop, with model English double decker buses and trains, books and maps, a must for children who love things that go, and Pollock's Toy Shop, which has old-fashioned 19th century paper theaters (this store is charming, but small, so leave your strollers and toddlers outside). In summer, Covent Garden is chock full of street performers, jugglers, and people singing show tunes or opera.
    London Transport Museum – Underground trains were practically invented in London. The London Transport Museum is about forms of transportation, with an emphasis on London's own. Kids will enjoy seeing all the different vehicles, steam trains, electric and horse trams, trolleybuses and the hands-on-exhibits. Tip: The London Transport Museum is closed until autumn 2007 for rennovation.
