There are so many Great Attractions to See When Visiting London on days out or holidays whether it’s with adults or children. We have visited a few attractions but of course, there are always new places to visit. In this post I will look at some places we have already visited and others we still have on our bucket list.
Great Attractions to See When Visiting London
Shreks Adventure
This was so much fun for the whole family. We enjoyed the fact that Shreks Adventure was interactive and there were loads of actors playing different characters. There were plenty of great photo opportunities to take advantage of too. My mum and I most enjoyed the 4D bus ride just as much as the kids. It made it so much more believable and magical for smaller children.
The London Eye
It’s on the list! My kids really want to take a ride on this but we’ve not managed to get around to it yet. It does sound pretty amazing and it’s clearly very popular having passed it to go to Shreks Adventure and Sealife and seeing people queueing to get on. As I recall, when I was researching discounts to go on the London eye, there are bulk purchase packages available. We are considering a Madame Tussauds, London Eye, SEALIFE London & Tower Bridge Bundle as there are some attractions we loved so much we want to go again.
The London Science Museum
The London Science Museum is a popular attraction to visit when in London. Although it’s free you do need to book your free tickets online due to the sheer numbers that visit daily. At the museum, you will get to see over 3000 objects including a mix of temporary and permanent exhibitions. The Exploring Space exhibition is extremely popular as is the medicine section which covers everything from mental health to epidemiology. Look out for the interactive sections they are really good fun!
Tower Bridge
This iconic London landmark is an extremely popular place to see whilst people are visiting London. It’s a Grade 1 listed building and has the most amazing panoramic views of London. Its amazing Neo-Gothic architecture draws in visitors 363 days of the year. It’s the only river crossing that has survived since Roman times. You can even go and see its engine rooms, which I know my son will enjoy.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London
Definitely on the wishlist. We are all big Harry Potter Fans so the Warner Bros. Studio tour is somewhere we’re all looking to visit when we can. It sounds like so much fun. We would love to go see the sets and costumes worn by the characters and props used. My daughters even had a costume like Hermione’s dress for the ball in the dress-up box when they were younger. There is even a great hall set up like the one in the movie. The kids really want to see that and see if the ceiling changes like it did in the film.
SEALIFE London
It’s fantastic. The kids spent ages in each section and then when we finished they wanted to go around again. They had the most wonderful time. One of their favorite parts was actually getting to touch creatures in the rockpools. They loved watching the cute penguins swimming about and also enjoyed the interactive sections that are scattered around the various exhibits. SEALIFE is one for both kids and adults.
Pin It!
Madame Tussauds
My daughters really want to go as many of their friends have been. It sounds like it would be very interesting and there are more than 250 figures to go and see. They even have a 4D Marvels Movie, perfect for fans and if it’s anything like the one at Shreks Adventure which I’m sure it will be, it’s going to be fantastic!
London Zoo
The kids loved seeing all the different animals at London Zoo. They were having so much fun they didn’t want to leave. It is somewhere we would consider going back to again as it made for a really lovely day out. The best part was where we could touch animals. The kids were there for ages coaxing out the animals to them so they could feed them hay. It was lovely to see them having such a great time.
St Paul’s Cathedral
This was designed by Christoper Wren after the Great Fire of London. Having seen this in person I have to say it is pretty stunning. This has been the site of many historic occasions including where Princess Diana walked down the aisle. There is plenty to discover and you can even visit the crypt. At night it is lit up and looks amazing. It really is worth hanging around to see it with all the well-placed lighting.
The list could go on for ages as there are so many Great Attractions to See When Visiting London. It’s such a lovely place to visit at least once. We’re looking forward to discovering more places as soon as we can.

The tower bridge is a must see for me. I would love to travel to London
It is something I’ve been to see but not with the kids. I’m sure my son would love to go.
Yes! I just love London. I haven’t been in YEARS. We were supposed to go this summer with my daughter’s school but it was moved to next summer. We will be going to some of these spots! I just love the history in London. I’m all about Henry VIII history.
It’s rich in history. You will have a great time. Enjoy!
I am a huge fan of the British Museum when we visit London. The V&A is another favourite. Like you say there’s so much to visit – the well known and quieter places (like Greenwich, Hampstead etc.) I can’t wait to go back to London again soon.
The museums are really good. We enjoy visiting those too x

Good to know the studio tour is good. We are looking forward to going.
I’ve still not done tower bridge but I’m really keen to go as the views look great and it’s such an iconic part of London. I’ve done all others apart from Shrek x
Exactly, you should be able to speak openly with friends and that way they can tell you what would help most.
This looks like so much fun! 🙂 I love finding fun attractions to visit and things to do!
There are some great places to see and things to do. Literally something for everyone.

I do hope you get to do some of these. They’re great fun.
I have actually visited the Tower of London for the first time, a few weeks ago. It was so nice to be there without other tourists and enjoy it properly. It’s a great educative lesson and you can easily spend 4-5 hours inside.
Oh wow, that’s interesting. Might need to take the kids soon be fore it gets busy x
These are cool attractions to explore in London. Thanks for sharing them.
They sure are Dan. I hope you get to see some if you haven’t already.
I have never been to London. But these recommended sites are really cool

You make me want to visit London. I’d probably stick to the traditional older sights, like the Tower and Cathedral. And maybe a ride on the Eye…
Those are all great options. I hope you have a great time x
London is in our long list bucket list. Such a beautiful city so many things to do in there for the whole family.
There really are, you could easily spend a week there and not see everything.
The Tower of London looks super interesting, I want to visit it if I go to London. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Lavanda, there is so much history behind it. It’s a very popular attraction. I hope you get to go.
My niece moved to London a few years ago, and I’ve been desperately trying to plan some time to visit. I need to see all of these attractions when I visit. I appreciate that you’ve included family-friendly options so the kids will make wonderful memories, too.
If you’re anything like me or my friends you’ll enjoy these with or without kids x
I dream of going to London someday. Will definitely check out your recommendations.
I hope you get to go Ivan It’s such a great place to visit.
We are desperate to visit Warner Bros studios again as Eliza is Harry Potter mad. I have promised for the last too birthdays but are waiting for Hogwarts in the snow now
Oh wow, great to hear you enjoyed it that much!!
Could agree more on the list! Definitely bookmarking this and I am so looking forward to revisiting London again. Hopefully soon!
Thank you for all the ideas. I would love to visit London someday. I have friends there and I would like to see the Tower Bridge first. It’s the trademark of London after all.
We’ve visited all of these places except Madame Tussauds, will have to try and visit this summer.
Great list of attractions in London. I visited one time with my friend. It has been while I visited. I will keep these in mind when I visit next time.
I am loving all of these places and have London on my bucket list for sure 😉 Will check these out when I get there! I especially want to go to the London Zoo.
Tower bridge area is so cool! I love sea life, but the one in London is so crowded and small.
Believe it or not! We have been to around 50 countries but UK …..not yet. This post is surely a sign….! 🙂
Great list of London places! Even after living in London for two years, I am yet to visit the Tower bridge and Sealife London, thanks to the pandemic 😞
When we go to London I love taking a cruise on the Thames, a flight on the London Eye and then a visit to the Shard.
I do go to London on occasions. I have always wanted to visit the Tower of London. It looks beautiful at night. It has so much history and class. Its on my Bucket list of things to do.
There are so many great things to see and do in London. I hope you get to visit again soon x
