Staying in London with kids

There are plenty of family-friendly hotels around London where you can stay with kids. In London the issue tends to be travelling around, so the trick is to look for hotels that are close to attractions you’d like to visit, or close to buggy-friendly (lifts and escalators) underground stations to get there.

Look for hotels close to stations with many connections and attractions, like Earl’s Court (Science & Natural History museums), Waterloo (London Eye, London Aquarium, Big Ben).
