A lot of London trips that take place are usually taken by single people, or similar age groups heading into town for a fun filled weekend. It is not actually a common location for a family to go to for a holiday, but that is surprising, because it is a great location for activities involving all of the family.

Start off with a trip to the Natural History Museum. This is a great place for children because, lets face it, what child is not fascinated by dinosaurs! Having said that, it is as pretty amazing place for an adult to attend as well, and I’m sure most people learn something new on each and every trip. You can follow this up with a trip to Madame Tussauds or the London Dungeons. Both have something for everyone, and there is something particularly entertaining for kids about watching their mother shriek when confronted by something spooky in the dungeons!

A trip to the theatre can be a great occasion for all of the family. These days, a lot of the musicals are made in mind of the whole family, and al awful lot of family groups attended the musical Cats. The latest show approaching the theatres of London is a new version of The Wizard of Oz. Reports have it that this show is going to be something special, so if you want to go and see it, you need to nook your Wizard of Oz tickets as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out.

If you are looking for a family holiday in Europe this year, you could do worse than to consider Paris as a destination. It is probably a better destination for slightly older families, anyone with children under the age of five might feel that it is not entirely suitable. For those with slightly older children, it is a good opportunity to introduce them to a bit of civilisation! Paris is literally oozing with history that your children should find fascinating, and the location is so beautiful that even the most reluctant Teenager will see something in the place.

There are of course options for your children if they really do not fall in love with their surroundings. Disney Land Paris is only a short distance from Paris and they can take public Transport to this strange land while you continue to enjoy the delights of the most beautiful city in the world!
Be sure to spend time exploring the side streets of the Left Bank – Famous as Ernest Hemmingway’s stamping ground when he was writing. In fact, his famous work, ‘A Moveable Feast’, was set entirely in the Left Bank of Paris, and it is a delightful read whilst staying in the quarter.

You might even be able to find relatively affordable accommodation in this area of Paris, but because of the compact nature of the city, any of the cheap hotels in Paris will be within striking distance.

Forget what I said about kids enjoying Paris. If you think that they will, then great. If not, pack them off somewhere else, and you’ll really be able to enjoy this wonderful city!

You would think that finding a restaurant in London would be easy, but the simple fact is that with such an overwhelming choice, it is very hard to pare down your choice to a venue that you can trust. Of course, there are many guides that you can pick up which can recommend great places to eat, but sometimes it is nice to find a place on your own and then you can enjoy your meal knowing that you sniffed this place out all by yourself!

If you are staying in London then the chances are that you will want to control the area in which you are looking for somewhere to eat. Head out in the day time in your local area and start to track places down. I always look out for local places where you need to book. If they don’t need to take reservations then you can guarantee that there are spare places in their Restaurant at night. There can only be one reason for this: the food is overpriced, or it is just not that good.

The second thing to look out for is fresh ingredients and regularly changed specials boards. If you have time you should take a walk past the restaurant on two separate days to see if the menu changes. If it does, there is a good chance that the produce is very fresh.

Perhaps surprisingly, a lot of cheap hotels in London serve great food. This perhaps could be because it is a good way to increase their revenue. You should make sure you check out the menu at your hotel before you even set foot out of the door!
