My family of 4 (kids are 11 & 15) will be in London for about a week next month. I love history but they have unfortunately not given me a lot to go off of as far as trip planning, so I'm just going for some top London highlights. I worry I planned too much on some days and would love a reality check. I would also love your food recommendations!
Wed - Arrive Heathrow noon. Car service to apartment (staying on Drury Ln near Aldwych). Explore that area for the rest of the day.
Thurs - Hampton Court Palace
Fri - V&A Museum & Paradox Museum
Sat - British Museum pre-open tour, leave around lunchtime. Afternoon at Novelty Automation and/or Sir John Soane’s. Already booked the 7pm show for My Neighbor Totoro.
Sun - Sightsee Westminster in AM + Sunday Roast Supper (Old Shades?). Spend afternoon “The City” walking tour.
Mon - Tower of London, Tower Bridge, walk Queen's Walk to London Bridge, Uber Boat to Embankment pier walk to apartment.
Tues - Check out 10am / car service to Heathrow
We joined Royal Historic Palaces for the HCP & ToL tickets. I also started a Google MyMap because I love them. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1ll5MomTVtcqQi9LWzg1ZTjJ5Jcc&usp=sharing
