A family trip to London is a great way for you to bond with the kids as you all share new experiences together. There are always plenty of incredible things to see and exciting activities to take part in.
Here at the Montcalm Hotel London, we love welcoming families and helping them create unforgettable memories. In order to help you make the most of your city break, we’ve put together a handy guide with tips and suggestions for stress-free travel around London.
Public transport
Using public transport is much easier than you might think, especially if you arrive well prepared. The Tube is the quickest way to get around the city so it’s a good idea to buy a pre-paid Oyster Card in order to reduce queuing time and save a little money. Using the Tube will help you get to the Montcalm Hotel London without a hitch. If you’re travelling internationally, the Tube also offers quick transport links to London’s airports, including Heathrow.
Having an Underground map to hand will help you find your way around and will allow you to keep your attention on the little ones so that they don’t wander off. You can also get London Underground map apps on your smartphone.
Accommodation
Choosing the right place to stay is important. You want to make sure that you and the kids are comfy during your trip to the big city. As one of the most luxurious hotels with executive lounges London, the Montcalm Hotel is suited to everyone’s needs. We also offer spa experiences and our in-house restaurants serve some of the best food in London. If you’re looking for a way to relax after spending the day exploring with the kids, we also offer wonderful afternoon tea experiences.
Family activities
Whether you’re staying in London for a week or a month, you’ll never run out of fun things to do. If you’re trying to teach your kids more about culture and history, check out all of the free museums such as the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum. If you like being outdoors, there are a number of parks and greeneries such as Richmond Park and the London Wetland Centre where you can explore to find local wildlife. When evening comes around, head over to the famous West End to see one of the award-winning shows.
Packing for your trip
Here at the Montcalm Hotel London, we strive to provide our guests with all of the essential amenities but it’s important you don’t forget anything important when you’re packing. The weather in London is prone to changing quite quickly so don’t forget everyone’s coats. If you plan on visiting the city’s parks, it’s also a good idea to pack some sensible footwear. Also, don’t forget to bring your camera along so you and the kids can take plenty of photos to remember the amazing time you had in London.
