[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At that age/close to it, my daughter enjoyed:

- Boat down to Greenwich and the Maritime museum. We were there at half-term for the UK and they were running some great programs for kids; I don't know if that is only at half-term. And a visit to the Cutty Sark.
- London Transport Museum in Covent Garden
- Borough Market -- go hungry since it is mostly prepared foods these days
- afternoon tea on the Brigit's Bakery bus (although I would say the tea itself is so-so, if you are doing it primarily for tea, you might want a different plan)
- Hampton Court Palace - they had actors playing various Tudor VIPs and you would run into them/interact with them as you visited the palace and grounds. This might also be for half-term, though.
- Hackney City Farm combined with Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday morning
- Musicals in the West End
- Backstage tour at the National Theatre
- Daytrip to Cambridge with walk along the river to Grantchester and the Orchard Tea Room
- Science museum and Museum of Natural History
- Holland Park playground[/quote]

DP here. Is the Orchard Tea Room for afternoon tea or just sightseeing?[/quote]

Afternoon tea -- they offer the full spread (sandwiches, cakes, scones), although we only had cake slices and a pot of tea. We were there in late March and ate in the (somewhat chilly) garden, with tons of daffodils blooming. It's a tea room, not a hotel-style tea experience, and the cakes were terrific.[/quote]
