So you are off to London on a hectic business trip this weekend? But there is just one thing on your mind - your kids. Travelling with a boisterous bunch of kids is always a nightmare. But thankfully, the city of London is very child-friendly, and there are plenty of attractions that can keep them occupied when you are negotiating complex business deals and the chaotic London traffic.

Runaway Kids

You heard of the Runaway Bride, but there are some places in London that will encourage your kids to take to their heels. Kids can begin their tour of the city with a visit to the Horniman Museum and get acquainted with their wild side. Young children can feast their eyes on the wonderful assortment of stuffed animals and the eye-catching aquarium. The Busy Bee activity sessions are certain to keep your little ones on their toes. And for the city-bred kids looking for some rustic charm, the animal enclosures teeming with animals like geese, chickens, rabbits and goats, offer dollops of it.

Though the picnic area in the sprawling museum premises is a lovely place to catch a quick bite amid verdant greenery, you can also take a train from the Forest Hill train station to the Charing Cross station for lunch at some of the most sought after family restaurants in the Convent Garden area. From mind-blowing, authentic Mexican cuisine at Wahaca to mouth-watering pizzas at Fire & Stone, there is a tantalising treat for every fussy kid.

Your post lunch session could include a visit to the Nelson's Column and the magnificent Trafalgar Square, followed by some hectic action at the playgrounds of St. James's Park. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, the lake in the park is just perfect. If you are lucky, you could spot a group of pelicans being fed their lunch. If you are keen your kids' must have lessons in history, make sure to take them to the Buckingham Palace. It is a class that will remain etched in their memory forever. The Horse Guards Parade is yet another major spectacle that kids must not miss.

Ideally, you could enjoy a home-cooked meal in the quiet environs of your fully-furnished serviced apartment in the heart of London. But if you are in a mood for some more appetising adventures, then head straight to Giraffe, which has branches all over the city.
