Product Description
Finally! A book about family travel to London written by a parent who has made the trip many times. Let's Take the Kids to London proves that an enjoyable family holiday in London is not only possible, it can blend culture, history, and just plan fun for parents and children alike. But don't take our word for it, ask Paddington Bear, Sherlock Holmes, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, Winnie-the-Pooh, or Harry Potter. Let's Take the Kids to London brings London to life with tie-ins to British children's literature. From the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, to London's lesser known tourist attractions, Let's Take the Kids to London offers practical advice to help visiting families get the most out of a London visit. No trip is perfect and this book injects humor as an antidote to the inevitable small tribulations experienced by the traveling family. Let's Take the Kids to London zeros in on what parents need to knout the logistics of a London holiday and what kids want to know about all the cool things to see and do in the city. Revised and updated edition.

 Let's Take the Kids to London August 10, 2003

If you plan to take children to London this is a great book. I warn you though if you get this and lots of other books you'll think this one too simplistic and put it aside. Don't. Its very straight forward and pragmatic approach is actually helpful if you read the narrative and don't just focus on the fact sheets. (The book has lots of "fact sheets" with basic details like hours, costs, location and how much time activities take.) I definitely agree with his choices of "must dos" and "highlights". I also appreciated his themes - like don't do in London what you can do at home and that children need to vary and pace actvities in ways very different than adults. We almost always took more time for each activity than he indicated. And of course some of the information is dated (for example most of the museums are free now.) Still, he has a wonderful feel for London and for what really catches a child's fancy.

I have found this book to be awsome. I have bought 3 other books about taking the kids to London and have found this the most helpful. The author has great advice on what to pack, where to go and how to get there. This book was my bible for our trip.
A good basic guide February 12, 2007

This guide offered a number of interested ideas for families with children to visit. A number of them were unknown to us and not usually discussed in travel books.

I loved how he changed around the contents from a typical guide book and let's you read the good stuff first. He has descriptions of the most popular tourist destinations in and around London first and then get's to the travel tips at the end. This book includes opinions rather than just straight facts based on his repeated trips to London. For example he recommends the paper Travelcards rather than the Oyster card for getting around on the tube and bus system. I couldn't find that sort of direction in the other London travel guide I bought.
