I am traveling to London in August for a conference and am considering taking my DC who will be 16 months when I go. The conference is for a week, but I'll like extend the trip for a few days on both ends. For those who have spent time in London with a toddler in the summer months, any advice on things to do, places to go?

The Science Museum (South Kensington) has lots of hands-on play - buttons to push, water to splash.
The Diana Memorial Garden in Kensington Gardens is pretty cool - a giant pirate ship for clambering. Open-top London buses. London Eye, South Bank, is next to the Aquarium. Regents Park zoo. Legoland is at Windsor but would be worth a trip. It's a toddler's paradise. If the weather is good, bring your toddler's swimsuit as there is a fountain play area for them to splash around in. |

| At that age, go for you. See what you want to see. Your child will be as fascinated with a squirrel in the park as they are with the Changing of the Guard. Our kids were perfectly happy in a neighborhood playground in a public park as they were some fancy place (where you had to pay). |
