[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ see this is my problem with taking young kids to London. If we're going to spend that much money going, I'm going to want to go to museums and churches and see historical points of interest. I don't know if it's really worth it if people are saying their young kids weren't into the London Tower, Westminter Abbey, Buckingham Palace, etc.?[/quote]

We went 2 years ago - my kids were 7 and 9.  The loved the parks most of all and we walked and walked around the city.  As for historical stuff, they both liked the Tower of London.  My older son liked the British Museum - my younger son said it was "boring".  They both liked the Transport Museum.  We did not go into Westminster Abbey because it was too crowded on the day we tried.  They LOVED the Tube.  We watched the Changing of the Guard from afar.  It was a great trip - just walking around, seeing the sights, eating in pubs, etc, made for a great trip.  On the flip side, we went to Rome last year and it was not as successful - I think in part because it is so focused on history, and that is just not my younger son's things.  Plus, it is more crazy and there is not as much open space to just run around.  There has to be somewhat of a balance with kids on these types of trips.[/quote]
