Family weekend in London with kids

Two days of museums, river boats, ice cream and just enough park.

London has more free family-friendly attractions than anywhere else in Britain. The trick on a weekend visit isn't finding things to do — it's picking the right cluster so you're not on the Tube for two hours a day. This itinerary stays mostly in central London, mixes indoors and outdoors, and is paced for kids aged 5–12 with built-in ice cream stops.
