London
I loved living in London. We’re grateful for a direct flight on British Airways from San Diego and go as much as we can. Yes, it rains for days at a time, but it’s easy to get beyond that. This is a city where you can eat in some of the world’s finest restaurants, see tangible evidence of the city’s Roman beginnings, watch world-class theatrical productions, and experience multiple cultures in a single day. And, it’s incredibly kid-friendly. If you’re looking for a starter trip to introduce your kids to a long-haul flight, make this your destination. Get your kids excited for your London visit by reading Paddington the Bear or rewatching classics like Mary Poppins or Harry Potter. We planned a London Harry Potter vacation, which was way more fun for me than I thought it would be. When it comes to things to do in London, don’t shy away from the major tourist attractions. You should do a few things like Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Kensington Palace, and the like at least once. Look into the many day trips from London, which include not only Stonehenge and Cambridge University but also beautiful beaches and Roman baths. When you’re ready to book a hotel in London, keep in mind that I have access to exclusive VIP amenities at nearly 30 London luxury hotels as an Independent Affiliate of Cadence Travel. These include extras like complimentary breakfasts, room upgrades, spa credits, and more. We particularly like Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square.
