Child fares, Easter hunts, face-painting, and enclosed cabins suit ages 5-12, yet the short flight may feel pricey and entertainment gaps appear once the ten-minute ride ends.
Recommended visit duration: 0.5-1 hour
👉 See FULL guide to IFS Cloud Royal Docks (with kids)Kids up to 12 can meet Marvel heroes, Star Wars icons and ride the gentle black-cab, while cloakroom stores gear; still, loud 4D effects, Chamber of Horrors, and pricey souvenirs may unsettle or strain budgets.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
👉 See FULL guide to Madame Tussauds London (with kids)Interactive family tours, sword-fighting workshops and half-price show seats suit ages 7–12, but long standing periods and Elizabethan benches may tire young children quickly.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
👉 See FULL guide to Shakespeare's Globe (with kids)Discount child tickets, lively guides, ear-friendly length and space for folded buggies suit ages 3-12, but there is no onboard play zone or interactive activity beyond commentary.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours
👉 See FULL guide to London Eye River Cruise (with kids)Children relish marching bands, family audio guide and craft pavilion, and can meet horses at Royal Mews; still, few toilets mid-route and required standing time can tire visitors under eight.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
👉 See FULL guide to Buckingham Palace (with kids)Child tickets, family trail, craft days, and the dome stair challenge keep 6–12s engaged, yet very narrow stairs, no cloakroom, and the need for close supervision can tire parents.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
👉 See FULL guide to St. Paul's Cathedral (with kids)Bug-trails, wide lawns and model-boat races still amuse ages 4-12, but the popular Diana Memorial Playground is shut until summer 2026, so activity choice shrinks and visits may be shorter.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
👉 See FULL guide to Kensington Gardens (with kids)10 BEST nearby Activities

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours
