description: Received wisdom has it that inner cities and children don't mix. In fact London functions as a wonderful all-weather playground, with a rich array of entertainment -- much of it free -- if you know where to look.This book is not a comprehensive listing of the classes, facilities, park and museums the capital has to offer. Rather, the guide features activities that parents/carers and children can enjoy together. Omitting the type of indoor adventure playground your kids may adore, but where you're left sipping a cup of vending-machine coffee in a noisy shed, it favours activities where there's pleasure to be had for both of you.Though there are plenty of child-oriented places in the selection, also included are houses and gardens, museums and galleries that can be appreciated on two levels: adults can enjoy the art, architecture, landscape or history and children the trails, mazes, parkland and pictures. In these cases both sets of needs have been addressed -- for instance by telling you where to find the best of the collection so you can zoom in before your children's whining becomes unbearable, while at the same time pointing out the features that they will find fascinating.
