Easter Break in London


It's nearly Easter. The kids are becoming restless and you're waking up in the middle of the night with cold sweats as you still haven't sorted out a well-oiled inventory of things to do over the half-term.

It seems that every year the Easter half-term gets a little longer, meaning more time with your kids - a blessing many would say, but keeping them entertained for such a long time can be a daunting prospect.

So, why not de-camp to our glorious capital for a few days and try out this quick-fire list of things to do in and around London to keep your kids entertained so you don't have to.

Head to Ripley's Believe it or Not for the strangest museum in the UK! Here you will discover all manner of strange sights and artefacts from around the world and they are currently offering a 2 for 1 offer on adult and child tickets. If Ripley's is a little too strange, take your kids to Madame Tussauds. The famous Waxworks have recently unveiled their latest draw - a Justin Bieber doppelgänger - guaranteed to put a smile on the face of all teenage daughters.

For slightly more adventurous children, you could treat them to a ride on one of London's most awe-inspiring attractions - The Eye. The London Eye is perfect for gaining a sense of the vast scale of the city and your kids will gasp in delight as the attraction soars higher into the sky. Failing the London Eye, why not try the capital's theme park of choice - Thorpe Park. The range of rides widens every year giving you and your children even more choice of excitement.

In preparation for the forthcoming royal wedding, you could take a tour of Buckingham Palace? Ticket prices start at £17.50, a small price to pay to view the interior of one of the most glorious palatial residencies in the whole of Europe! If Buckingham doesn't entice the kids, you could pick one from The Tower of London, Hampton Court or Kensington Palace!
