If you’re thinking about a trip to the big city of London anytime soon, then there are plenty of great ways to entertain yourself and your children. Often, when it comes to family trips, a lot of the priority and focus is placed on the little ones.
Luckily for the adults, London has a lot to offer that caters not just to the kids but ensures the adults have some of the fun too. From the Harry Potter Studio Tour to unique murder mystery nights, here are a few ways you can explore London that make for an exciting experience for adults, too.
Harry Potter Studio Tour
The Harry Potter Studio Tour is perhaps one of the best ways to experience the magic of HP beyond the films and books themselves. A deep dive into filmmaking is a genuinely magical experience that the whole family can enjoy.
It’s slightly outside of the center of London, but still a great way to enjoy the magic, even if the last films feel like a distant memory to you as adults. It’s a movie series that will hopefully be passed down and enjoyed by many young generations to come.
Murder Mysteries
If you’re looking for something unique and exciting, then a Murder Mystery is definitely something you can enjoy with the kids, especially when they get a bit older.
It might not be something to take your toddlers to, but if you’re a big fan of murder mystery experiences, then there are plenty located around London that you’ll be able to enjoy.
Sky Garden
For cultural experiences and unique views, the Sky Garden is perhaps one of the most beautiful spots to be enjoyed in the city. Located near the Monument or Bank station, Sky Garden is London’s highest public garden.
Tickets to immerse yourself in the gardens are free, but it’s worth booking tickets ahead of time in order to avoid any disappointment. You’ve also got a restaurant if you fancy dining with the city’s landscape around you, as well as music nights featuring live music to dance the night away to.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London is an engaging experience into the history of the Royals. It features the Crown Jewels, available to see in-person, as well as Beefeater tours to enjoy too. It’s one of those iconic tourist spots that you don’t want to miss out on visiting.
The London Dungeons
This actor-led experience offers thrilling historical stories, some that might be a little too terrifying for the really young kids.
However, for those who are of school age and are interested in a history lesson that’s a little different than most, The London Dungeons is a spooky and thrilling experience that they’ll remember.
Natural History Museum
Finally, there’s the National History Museum. While there are a lot of boring museums out there for kids, there are a few in London that will surely keep them engaged, even if briefly. The National History Museum is renowned for its stunning architecture and dinosaur exhibits, which will be a particular hit for little ones.
There are plenty of things to see and do in London, especially for those family groups of all age ranges.
