3 Days in London with Kids

A practical London family itinerary that puts big-ticket sights next to free museums, parks, and food stops so children get variety and parents avoid cross-city zigzags. The plan uses timed Tower tickets, South Kensington museum choices, easy Thames moments, and realistic West End or early-dinner options depending on energy.
