Spring (April to May) and early autumn (September) offer the best combination of mild weather and manageable crowds. School holidays (late July through August) are the busiest period. If you must visit in summer, book all tours well in advance.
Children under 11 travel free on the Tube, buses, and DLR. Use contactless payment for adult fares. The hop-on hop-off bus is a great way to rest tired legs while still sightseeing. River buses are another fun and practical option.
The Natural History Museum, Science Museum, and V&A are all free and excellent for children. Hyde Park has the Diana Memorial Playground (2-12 years). Greenwich Park, Regent's Park, and the South Bank offer free outdoor fun.
Borough Market and Camden Market have plenty of kid-friendly food stalls. Many restaurants along the South Bank cater to families. Wagamama, Pizza Express, and Honest Burgers are reliable chains with children's menus throughout central London.
