Fodor's Around London With Kids

Book excerpt: Fodor's Around London with Kids provides both visiting and local parents with 68 fun family activities to do in London, from exploring the London Dungeon and all its gruesome thrills, to learning about brass rubbing (and making your own) at the Brass Rubbing Centre, to getting a bird's-eye view of the city from the London Eye. Each activity features practical tips and suggestions for nearby places to eat. Plus, there are games for the kids. Competitive Advantage: Fodor's Around London with Kids is a unique, kid-friendly guide designed as a flipbook; as kids flip the pages, they'll see a Palace guard doffing and donning his impressive hat. Parents will appreciate its compact size and easy-to-use format, which results in a better organized and more practical guide than the competition. And a guide parents will dip into time and time again. Expanded Coverage: Exciting new kid-friendly activities and sights have been added to help families experience the best of London. Restaurant coverage has been updated with a focus on top spots with kid-friendly menus. Indispensable Trip Planning Tools: Cross-references at the end of each listing allow families to identify the London sights that best match their interests. Boxes in each listing call out tips and nearby kid-friendly restaurants for quick reference. A quick-scan thematic index appears at the back of the book. Written by a Parent: Fodor's Around London with Kids is written by a local parent who knows how to keep kids entertained there. Fodor's choices are tried and true, while covering the practical concerns that all parents must address. Tips on transportation, timing, and what to do on rainy days are all included.
