Episode Details

Family travel to London with kids: what we loved, what surprised us, and what we'd do differently on our next trip

We just spent five days in London with the kids, and rather than walk you through a stop-by-stop itinerary (that's what the blog article is for), this episode is the honest debrief: each of our four favorite things from the trip, where we ate, what caught us off guard about the city, and what's already on the list for next time.

IN THIS EPISODE

• Where we stayed near King's Cross and why the location mattered more than the room size
• Each of our four top picks: Harrods, the Tower of London and Changing of the Guard, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, and two West End/Globe shows
• Where we ate - afternoon tea at the Ampersand, Hobson's Fish & Chips, a 100% gluten-free splurge at Niche, and Mango Indian
• What surprised us about London, good and bad
• What we'd do differently on our next visit
