Editorial Review: Product Description: Finally! A book about family travel to London written by a parent who has made the trip many times. Let's Take the Kids to London proves that an enjoyable family holiday in London is not only possible, it can blend culture, history, and just plan fun for parents and children alike. But don't take our word for it, ask Paddington Bear, Sherlock Holmes, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, Winnie-the-Pooh, or Harry Potter. Let's Take the Kids to London brings London to life with tie-ins to British children's literature. From the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, to London's lesser known tourist attractions, Let's Take the Kids to London offers practical advice to help visiting families get the most out of a London visit. No trip is perfect and this book injects humor as an antidote to the inevitable small tribulations experienced by the traveling family. Let's Take the Kids to London zeros in on what parents need to knout the logistics of a London holiday and what kids want to know about all the cool things to see and do in the city.

A number of them were unknown to us and not usually discussed in travel books. Alan Safani Rating: - GET THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU LEAVEI have found this book to be awsome. I have bought 3 other books about taking the kids to London and have found this the most helpful. The author has great advice on what to pack, where to go and how to get there. This book was my bible for our trip. Rating: - Let's Take the Kids to LondonIf you plan to take children to London this is a great book. I warn you though if you get this and lots of other books you'll think this one too simplistic and put it aside. Don't. Its very straight forward and pragmatic approach is actually helpful if you read the narrative and don't just focus on the fact sheets. (The book has lots of "fact sheets" with basic details like hours, costs, location and how much time activities take.) I definitely agree with his choices of "must dos" and "highlights". ...
