Family-friendly places in London

London rewards families willing to look beyond the obvious. The Natural History Museum draws gasps from children of all ages, while Finsbury Park offers space to run and breathe between gallery stops. The Horniman Museum — a wonderfully eccentric Victorian treasure chest in Forest Hill — packs taxidermy, world cultures, and an aquarium under one roof. Down at the waterfront, the National Maritime Museum turns seafaring history into something you can touch and climb. Cap the day with a slow revolution on the London Eye and the city below suddenly makes sense as a whole. Many of London's finest family destinations are free, which leaves more room in the budget for the inevitable souvenir.
