London with Kids and Harry Potter in

Natural History and Science Museums for children, a full day at the Harry Potter studio tour, then the Tower of London and the South Bank.

Arranged around children's interests: on day one, visit two free museums in South Kensington and then Hyde Park; on day two, spend the whole day at the Harry Potter studio tour and, on the way back, stop at King's Cross Platform 9¾; on day three, see the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the London Eye; on day four, watch the Changing of the Guard before departing. Staying in South Kensington, you can take the Tube directly to Heathrow. Each day is relaxed, suiting families with primary school to teenage children.

Studio tour tickets often sell out weeks in advance, and school holidays are even busier.
