The best places to go and things to do in London, as told by Trisha Estopiñan, @mamadoeseurope, on vacation from Paris for Christmas 2023.
What to do
Jurassic Tea at the Ampersand Hotel
This was the highlight for our kids! Dino-themed treats and activities to keep the kids busy made it a memorable activity.
Where to eat
Fisher’s Restaurant & Takeaway
You can’t go to London without fish and chips! These were 10/10!
Where to go
Stroll through St. James’s Park
This is a huge, beautiful park where you can see Buckingham Palace! There is a great playground right by the palace that the kids loved.
What to see
Westminster
Cross over Westminster Bridge and see the iconic Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. It’s beautiful, of course!
Covent Garden
Hard to pick, but this was our favorite area in London with loads of shops and restaurants. Be sure to stop by Apple Market and Neal’s Yard!
Insider Tip for Parents:
While the Natural History Museum is free (& there is a fantastic dinosaur section), you still want to get tickets online, with a time slot, to be able to skip a big line!
