Dear Stray

Hello

The Wetlands Centre in Barnes, London is a beautiful place for wildlife and the
countryside.

WWT London Wetland Centre
Queen Elizabeth's Walk
Barnes, London
SW13 9WT

020 8409 4400

By tube
Hammersmith tube (on the Piccadilly and District & Circle Lines) is the nearest tube station. From here it is just a 10 minute bus ride 283.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a museum, the Wallace Collection off Oxford Street has free entry and is piled high with historical furniture, paintings, miniatures, etc.

http://www.wallacecollection.org/

Open Monday to Sunday, 10-00am to 5-00pm.

One of London's best kept secrets.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other thing I would suggest is the Original London Bus Ride with the boat trip down to Greenwich. You can get off at the special stops when you like and you can see the sights of London from the top of the bus.

And the tickets have been reduced a bit too.

You can great pictures.

I am all for saving as my lot have allready planned the summer holidays.

They have forgotten one thing..................money!


Whatever you do, travel safely.

Take gentle care
Best wishes

yes he travels brill, he came with us to puss' wedding 7 hours each way and never moaned once, mind i always take him a pack up of toys n things to do so hes never board, but then hes used to travelling since he was little,

he asked for the trip rather than a party, but has still conned me out of a sleepover to :-( lol

So what is it Stray? A two day coach trip? I am sure he'll have fun. Does he travel OK?

haha Ann id love to stay a week i love london, were going to legland the second day :-D thats the reason for us going, littleman wanted to go as a birthday treat, x

I think you should change it to a weeks stay Stray.

I thought it was an hypothetical question when I first saw the thread title. I was going to say BC's but I see Hayley beat me to it :-D

Whatever you decide have a good time :-)

oh hayley is BC villa child frendly lol,

hi dame hes 5 going on 6, when we visit, so that sounds good i googled the museums but i cant decide :-\
oh Gwyn you could be right if the dino are a seperate section thats all we would be going for, its a pain not knowing how long we have but it depeds on traffic on the day


haha lyndsey hes not going to be priminister if i have anything to do with it,

thank you all for your suggestions :-D

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 !

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.

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

It is Ive done it :) I really wanted to visit the German xmas markets in Hyde park and also when to IWM ....loved it :-D

Oooooo

I never thought of that Hayley


Let's all go to BC's for the weekend....gotta be more fun :-D :-D :-D

Bc's villa of course ......tis the only place to be :-D

You could have time to visit Madam Tussauds and the Planetarium.....two places instead of one.....and if little man Satan is going, he will love them both

Betcha......I know these things cos I was young once.....never forgot my visit to either of them.....awe inspiring
