Londen kan op het eerste gezicht intimiderend lijken, maar het is eigenlijk een ongelooflijke gezinsvriendelijke plek om te bezoeken - met veel geweldige opties om de kinderen (van alle leeftijden) te vermaken. Familiedagen in Londen hoeven niet gehaast of stressvol te zijn - het gaat erom dat je de juiste attracties en plaatsen kent om te bezoeken.
Hopelijk helpt deze lijst met dingen die je met het gezin in Londen kunt doen je om je keuzes te beperken. Als je tijd hebt, probeer dan misschien zelfs 2 of 3 van deze suggesties in te passen... Op die manier zullen je kinderen zich niet vervelen en kun jij verschillende delen van de stad verkennen!

Het Wetenschapsmuseum

If your little ones are budding scientists or curious about the world, then a trip to the Science Museum is going to amaze them. You can learn all about the history of space and astronauts, as well as the physics behind space travel too. For the really little ones, there are hands-on, multi-sensory areas like The Garden (ages three to six) and Pattern Pod (ages five to eight).

Hyde Park

This huge park in the middle of London has plenty of space for a family picnic and a game of rounders! In the summertime, there are deck chairs to rent, little paddle boats on the lake, and ice cream vans. It’s a summertime dream!

Riviercruise

If your little ones are fed up of walking (or if you’re fed up with carrying them!), then a river cruise is a super fun way to rest your legs, and be entertained – all at the same time. So many of London’s best sights can be seen from the river, so taking a relaxing cruise along the water to soak them all in is the perfect family-friendly solution. Why not experience the epitome of river dining with City Cruises’ Lunch Cruise on the River Thames? Renowned as one of the most popular cruises combined with a delectable 2-course lunch, showcasing British flavours and traditions, this experience promises an unparalleled journey. Perhaps you want to sightsee all day and relax while you dine on a London Dinner Cruise on the Thames. Indulge in a sumptuous four-course meal of traditional British flavours, meticulously crafted by our skilled chefs to tantalize your taste buds. As you savour each dish, enjoy uninterrupted views of London’s most famous landmarks, including the Tower Bridge, the Shard, and the Houses of Parliament. Our fully stocked bar offers a selection of beverages to complement your meal, with upgrade options available to make your evening extra special. This extremely popular dinner cruise is likely to sell out, so plan early. Enjoy onboard entertainment as well as commentary via our app for fascinating insights into the city’s history and landmarks. You will have a memorable journey for either lunch or dinner, and the views are unmatched.

Dierentuin Londen

For kids who love animals, the London Zoo is a beautifully kept zoo in the centre of the city. There are loads of animals for the children to be amazed at – but our favourites have to be the penguins! If you want to spend a little extra budget on the day, then you can book a close-up session with the penguins and other animals, which allows the kids to get even more involved in zoo life.

Stadsboerderij Vauxhall

Nog een optie voor gezinnen die van dieren houden! Als je liever boerderijdieren hebt dan jungledieren, is de Vauxhall City Farm misschien meer iets voor jou? Het is een stukje platteland in de stad en een geweldig gezinsuitje in Londen.

Covent Garden

Covent Garden is an open-air square in central London full of shops and street entertainers. The street entertainers are free to watch (a donation is advised, however, at the end), and most are fantastic with kids, with the shows being geared towards them. Some will even get the children involved in the performance!

Harry Potter Studio Tour

Deze suggestie is een kleine reis buiten Londen, maar The Harry Potter Studio Tour is misschien net het gezinsuitstapje dat je zoekt, vooral als je Dreuzels in de familie hebt. Spring op de trein naar Watford Junction, waar een speciale bus klaarstaat om je naar de Studio's te brengen. Het is echt een magische ervaring die ze zich altijd zullen herinneren. Het is erg populair, dus reserveer altijd van tevoren.

Hamleys speelgoedwinkel

Located on Regent Street in central London, Hamleys is everything kids dream about. They will love you for bringing them here, and although it can be a little chaotic inside, the whole place is designed for kids. There are entertainers on each floor, lots of stuff to try and test out, and floors upon floors of fun.

De kerker van Londen

Now, this suggestion isn’t for those with young children, but rather for those aged 8 and up. It’s a spooky 90-minute tour of London’s murky history and sketchy past, using fantastic actors, music, and re-enactments. There are special effects, and the storytelling is just fantastic for older kids. If you’re visiting around Halloween, this is definitely a fun (and slightly freaky) family day out.

Elke dag is familiedag in Londen

Londen is een spectaculaire stad met een overvloed aan keuzes voor reizigers met kinderen. Van musea van wereldklasse, parken, studiotours, tot ontspannend en adembenemend Riviercruises.  There is so much to see and do, and is full of child-friendly, fun, cultural, historic, and educational activities bound to entertain all. The capital city is a family-friendly city that the whole gang will love and should be at the top of your list.
