London, United Kingdom: Greenwich and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour

For easy, fun-filled days in London, we have two family-friendly recommendations for kids with different interests.

For outdoorsy kids, head to Greenwich Park, one of the city’s most popular picnic spots, just a quick 30-minute tube ride from central London. While away the hours with snacks and local eats from Greenwich Market, wander the grounds of the magnificent National Maritime Museum – the perfect spot for a family photo – and don’t forget to plan ahead to reach the Royal Observatory Greenwich in time to watch the sun set behind London’s breathtaking skyline.

Or, if you’ve got a Potterhead on your hands, get yourself a wizarding fix at The Making of Harry Potter Tour, located less than an hour from London in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. With a rich repertoire of themed tours to choose from, little fans are in for an unforgettable immersive experience at the Wizarding World – and learning magic spells at Hogwarts is just one part of it. Don’t forget to check out the sets, props and costumes, not to mention their souvenirs and other merchandise on offer.
