Gdau was always happy in the Natural History Museum - now she works in one!! Trip down river by boat to Greenwich - lovely grounds, wonderful buildings - should be something there to amuse littleman.

i carnt see the age of the child you will have with you
but i would say age 5 and over would love the History and Science Museum
now the Science Museum is a must down in the basment as it is hands on and children of all age love it down there pluss there is also a bit for under 5s

i would say google both museum and see what you think

iv been both with my children more than once and with the granchildren thay love it every time thay go pluss it is free

Not sure of recent arrangements, but when I last went to Natural History Museum a couple of years ago, there was a seperate queue once inside to have access to the dinosaur section. On the day we visited with grandson it was quite long and quite alot of waiting.

I'm sure it's good fun, but the time factor might need considering if you don't have long in London.

If you are bringing a child take an open-top bus ride , about an hour ,then Tower of London, Tower Bridge ,pose for a photo outside the other front door of 10 Downing Street [just in case he becomes prime minister} that's at the base of Tower Bridge, and a pit stop at St Katherine's dock cafe.

If you have longer cross the bridge turn right and see the Clink Jail, Golden Hind and Globe theatre along the South Bank,by which time you will need new feet !

Whatever you decide have a good time :-)
