Hi all,
I'm trying to fine tune our itinerary as our trip is getting closer. I'd appreciate any feedback.
Travellers: Two adults, one child (4) and one infant (7.5 months)
Budget: as low as we can go but not cheap out :)
Pace: Slow. We would like to get at least one nap at the apartment for the baby per day
We are staying in an apartment near the Notting Hill tube station.
Flying in Monday, June 6 in the morning into Gatwick. Pick up Oyster Cards. Gatwick Express to Victoria Station. I need to collect our train tickets there. Tube to Notting Hill.
I'm hoping to check in early (check in is at 3) but if not we will probably settle into Hude Park and get a picnic/relax near the Memorial Playground.
Rest of day we want to unpack, get groceries, explore Hyde Park.
Tuesday, June 7
- changing of the guard- hoping to be at the playground to see them go by (23 minutes yellow line tube)
- Buckingham palace
- Picnic st James park
- Nap/Rest
- National History Museum and/or
- British Museum (30 minute walk)
- Afternoon Tea at the Orangery (should I pre book?)

Wednesday
- 148 Bus (45 minutes)
- London eye if weather is clear
- Duck tour (starts 10am)- 75 minutes

Thursday (June 9)
- HMS Belfast war boat

How does this look? We really only want to do one "big" trip per day with the kids, so I've tried to group things together.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
