train to london bridge - stroll back (via borough market,look at the "pirate ship", look at the river, pop into tate modern (to slide down the big ramp if nothing else, walk along the south bank looking at stuff, then look at the buskers and the wheel) maybe finish at the fountains in somerset house if its nice weather.


science museum (hands on stuff)


kensington gardens end of hyde park - boat trip and diana playground?


horniman with picnic in the gardens?


boat trip to greenwich and / or mudchute farn visit (lovely cafe)


richmond park (deer!)

I think the Tower of London is a great day out - didn't go for ages because of the cost but you can get deals such as the National Rail 2 for 1 offer. There is so much to see and do, it really is a full day out and you get a unique perspective on the river and Tower Bridge from the walls of the tower. There's a kids' trail and a badge and pencil saying trainee princess/knight. Our kids 6 and 3 loved it.
Just a little note about the Diana playground in Kensington Gardens. It's a really fun place with a huge pirate ship for the kids to clamber around. Please note that the nearest station is Queensway! Don't do what I idiotically did and trek across the whole of Hyde park to get to it, unless of course you want to...

Greenwich for cutty sark, maritime museum, if weekend the market for grown ups and kids play area in the park is quite good.


Kew gardens


St Paul's with walk to the top - lots of steps


Barbican nice for a quiet wander


Green park for obligatory see Buck House and walk down the Mall


Covent garden for street performers

    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,
