[quote=Anonymous]With a family of 5 I would try to rent a flat from a place like vrbo/homeaway.  We did that in London.  We had a great experience.

The islands are small (relatively speaking), but the roads are small and windy, so to go from the south of England to Scotland can take you 8+ hrs on the road.  In-country flights are not that expensive in the UK, so you might want to look at flying to Scotland from London. There are cheaper airlines (like southwest)  - Ryaniar, and another I can't remember now.

How are you guys at driving on the other side?  I've been to the UK probably about 6x now, and I still won't drive on the other side.  But then again, my DH is from there so it makes the decision easy for me.

Why wouldn't you do some of the museums?  My kids are 5 and 8, and they liked the British Museum (natural history) and the Tower of London (there's a really cool dragon made of weapons - a must see).

If your 4 and 6 yr old likes Peppa Pig, there's a Peppa Pig world right next to another amusement park for older kids - it's in the same park actually.  Actually, my 8 yr old liked some of Peppa Pig World, too.

Trains are actually pretty good, but they also can take a while.[/quote]
