London ideas for family of 4 (been 7 or 8 times before)

Hello everyone

We are going to London at Easter for 3 nights but have been loads of times before, although our 9 year old doesn't remember a lot of it.

We have been to:

London Eye
Science Museum
Natural History Museum
Portrait Gallery
HMS Belfast
Imperial War Museum
Mary Poppins at the King Edward Theatre

For some reason we've never been to Tower of London - we will probably go this time using Tesco deals vouchers. We will probably also use deals vouchers for London Dungeon (I've read that this isn't that great but I'm sure the kids will love it).

I've read there is a magic show on at Baron's Court - anyone know anything about this?

Any more suggestions?

I've always wanted to go to Hampstead - is it worth the trip?

  • What about -

    London Zoo
    Tate Modern
    Kew Gardens

    The London Eye is having an Easter egg hunt

    Hamleys toy shop is having an easter egg making workshop where kids can make eggs, cut chocolate and dip fudge.

    Theres a moroccan circus with acrobats and magic at the Queen Elizabeth Hall (Waterloo).

    Theres an Easter parade which is a free family fun day with shows, storytelling - and a real wolf! Which is at Lyric Hammersmith - https://www.lyric.co.uk

    The Science Museum has a Pixar (Toy story, Nemo) exhibit on.

    Hope this helps xx
