Every year we come to the UK in summer, we spend a large chunk of our time in the Midlands, but always make sure we spend at least a week in London. As the years have gone by and our family has got bigger, we’ve altered the style of our trips to be more suitable for the kids. The boys now aged 2 and 3.5 years are adaptable to most surroundings as we do travel a lot but like every other child out there they do need to be kept busy/entertained.
Each trip we take to London, we like to make it better and different from the last, we explore new places with the kids and eat at different places. So here is a list compiled from our own trips, as well as recommendations from friends and family that have been added to my list for future trips! I hope this helps and once again thanks to everyone for contributing!! To check out where to go when in London, click HERE
Please click on the name of the restaurant to visit their website direct, I am not affiliated with any of the places that I have wrote about and have shared the information based on friends and family recommendations Or my own. Lastly most places in London need a booking in advance; so do call ahead in advance to avoid disappointment, also do confirm that it is Halal in advance too.
