London Court (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is London Court?

Positives:

- Seating under cover: Benches and ledges under the arcade cover give you a place to rest and tend to your baby.
Challenges:

The London Court has got nice architecture on the buildings. Lots of shops and it's beautiful. The clock will sound the alarm every half an hour.
