help london trip - london eye 2 for 1?

violetmac

Hi
I'm hoping for some advice I am coming to London for 3 days with my daughter and I really would like to go to the London eye but just wondering if anyone knows of any 2 for 1 offers for the London eye primarily but other places or suggestions worth seeing and doing with a seven year old girl would be greatly appreciated especially for meals, I was thinking possibly the rainforest cafe (is it worth it?) any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you!!

Rainforest cafe is good, but expensive. We found a voucher on a map in our hotel that gave us 25% off. Have you thought about taking her to a show? Lastminute.com often have cheap tickets. We got 2 for 1 tickets using the Days out site ( if you are travelling there by train)
She'll travel very cheaply on the tube, and you can buy a day ticket for yourself. We just went to look at lots of the sites when we took our children, didn't really cost much at all. The m and m shop is worth a visit though!

Your daughter will travel free on London tubes and buses as children 10 years old and under get free travel. She will just follow you through the pushchair/luggage gates at the end of the tunstiles at tube stations. The Science and Natural History Museums are free and beside each other (nearest tube station is South Kensington). She might enjoy seeing the changing of the Guard. If you are coming to London in August you could look at the Kids week theatre offers.

There used to be the 2for 1 voucher on the daysout website for the London Eye but I think that has finished and I haven't seen any other 2for 1 Eye offers.

The Rainforest Cafe is expensive but my girls really enjoyed it, so as a treat it is worth a visit in my opinion.

London Zoo is good and was on the 2for 1 Rail offers offers. You can also do a cnal boat ride to it if the weather is good from Camden Lock.

As there is so much to do I would plan the days using the www.tfl.gov.uk journey planner to get as much done as possible.

I could only find 15% off the London Eye
You can also get a TFL app that really helps if you drift from schedule. There is one called PubTran on Android - both are free -
