Family-friendly London with museums, parks, river views, palace moments, and practical transit buffers.

The British Museum and the Natural History Museum are free and built for families. Pick one as the day’s indoor anchor and keep the visit focused on a few highlights.
Hyde Park, St James’s Park, and a stretch of the South Bank give kids room to move between sights. A short Thames boat hop is a sightseeing trick that doubles as a rest.
The Tube with a buggy is hard; favor buses for the views and step-free routes, and build slack into the schedule for tired legs and snack stops.
