Hi everybody!


My Family ( mum, sisters with their children (3-9 y) is coming for a couple of days to London( they live in Paris)

I was just wondering what I should do or visit to make the most of their time. They are staying for 4 days. And I want to do something different for each of them , each day (mum, kids, sisters).

I know if the weather is good I am planning to have a pic-nic. (hyde park or East dulwich Park )

But I would like to show London to my mum (first time for her). To entertain the kids

Have you got any ideas of what to do,to visit which is not too expensive , for the kids, for my mum , (for my sisters it is sorted as we 'll go on a shopping trip.)

The boat from Greenwich to the Tate Modern is great, and you can also go to the other Tate by boat. Loads to do in Greenwich as well.


When my Mum came for her first visit, we did a big walkaround from Tate Modern, to St Pauls, to Westminster Cathedral, Buckingham Palace etc. (She wanted to see the major sites which are quite accesible on foot) You can also hop on and off that tourist bus which is quite useful for getting around London.

The views from Oxo Tower (southbank) are great.


Regents park beautiful (as Hyde park)


If you go on Timeout website they have great ideas and listings of all the museums; entry times; cost etc which can be quie useful when planning.

If the weather is bad (or even good) the Science Museum and Natural History Museum are always a big hit with children - the 'launch pad' at the science museum was always good fun for young children; as were the dinosaurs and the big blue whale at the natural history museum. Last time I went, which was a while ago, both museums were free for both adults and children. They are also both a short walk from each other so you could do both in one day!

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
