Hamley's toy store is a must destination for everyone having children -- albeit it might be best to leave the children to hotel, or you might find spending the whole day there.

Kulu Kulu Sushi is with its conveyor-belt style service is a nice exception in the London sushi scene: the prices are decent and the sushi is really tasty.

Park Plaza County Hall is a bit hidden gem near London Waterloo station. The newly opened hotel has only suites, and thus is a very good choice for longer accommodation or travelling with children. The location is surprisingly good, as there are several tube lines to central London and the local are... More >
