HoodHot Travels London for Families makes it easy for the whole family to enjoy London. Because parents deserve a memorable and hassle-free trip!
Not only are Londons most important venues listed, relentless research, tips and tricks from Secret-London.co.uks Kieran Meeke ensure that every venue can be approached in a family-friendly way. This isnt a childrens guide - its a guide that the whole family can enjoy. Dont miss Londons best at your childrens expense!
Make sure children will never be bored - missions and trivia for points along the way keep the children engaged as active participants in both the planning and experience of travel. Allow them to actively search for a hidden treasure or special feature of Londons history - with your help theyre sure to find many interesting things.
Just be sure to take plenty of pictures of their (and your!) successes along the way - instead of just being part of another family photo, bring home memories that the whole family can share. Even if home is only an hour away.
FEATURES
✓ Londons Best: London is a city of history and intrigue - we have outlined Londons key landmarks, with half-day guided walks and tours that make it easy to plan and see the citys most important locations. Of course, the guide is also filled with parks, gardens, zoos, and attractions that can keep the kids occupied and you relaxed.
✓ Guided Walks & Tours: Kieran takes you on a personal tour of the icons and history of London in the Palace and Trafalgar Square walks around the city center. Muggle fans of the wizarding world can see a listing of the London locations used in the filming of the Harry Potter movies, and if the weather is right, adventurous families can take guided speedboat tours of Thames.
✓ Loo Finder: As parents it is often hard to manage both the children and enjoying your trip. Too often toddlers are tired and the instant you need to change the baby all the restrooms seem to have disappeared. No worries there - close restrooms, pharmacies, and grocery stores for feeding the baby are listed for your convenience.
✓ Offline Maps: No roaming necessary. Our detailed offline maps pinpoint the entrance or gate that should be entered, not just a pin in the center of a massive building. With a 3G or newer iPhone, your precise location is overlaid on the map as you walk, even without using data. If you prefer, use your data connection to access Google Maps with a touch.
✓ Detailed Directions: Detailed walking instructions from the closest tube station ensure that the whole family gets there safely. With toddlers in tow, you need all the help you can get.
✓ The Teleport Machine: Sometimes you dont want to think about your next steps. Why should you? Simply touch the Teleport button and you are provided a handful of suggestions for great next steps. The Teleport Machine knows where you are, and what time it is, and gives you suggestions not only on things close by, but things that are relevant. Noon in Piccadilly? Get some lunch!
And don’t worry; it doesn’t need an internet connection, so you won’t get dinged with data fees. Well be providing updates periodically, since the app is offline and London changes so quickly, so stay tuned, get the kids ready, and enjoy!
