And the science museum has space rocketry stuff. What 7 year old doesn't like space rocketry stuff?

Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green.

I went there a long time ago. The really spooky thing about the place was that there were no toy guns at all. They had been airbrushed away.

Top Tip if I may say so.
Make sure you are all well shod, with shoes you have already broken in and walked in for miles and miles.
Enjoy yourselves.

The cable car over The Thames is quality

Can't remember what its called, the something Air Line, but its on the DLR where you can sit in front and pretend to drive the train, there's no driver. Plus its about 30p one way, quite a bit cheaper than the London Eye which have you'll have to take a mortgage out for.

Yes, but get a return ticket!

The Aquarium is very good, also you might like the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden.

Smell the oil, see the steam, and feel the earth shake. Get down to Kew Bridge and see some giant steam engines strut their stuff. They do sewers too.

Be sure to pick a day when the whole orchestra is "in steam".

Dinosaurs don't even come close.

That's cos your an old fart, closely related to Fred Dibnah. T-Rex rox the box. Especially with rockets. And death ray laser guns.

I've been up to the sky garden today. Super cool and FREE! You do have to book though...

Take them to a museum anyway. Broaden their horizons.

Science, natural history, British, childhood. All amazing. All free.
