London in Oct. with 2-year old

[expatjen]

My DH is traveling through London in Oct for business and I'd like to tag along with our 2 year old. The only snag is that DH will take off to Morocco for 3 days in the middle of the trip, leaving me and the boy to fend for ourselves in London.

Can you recommend any kid-friendly things to do in London for 3 days? Keeping in mind that I'm going to be solo-parenting.

I've thought of the zoo and the parks (if it's not too cold or rainy), but what else is there to entertain small children?

TIA

Science Museum is awesome! And the Natural History Museum would be cool too.

I suggest going to Morocco with him. We took our kids there last summer and had so much fun exploring

And if I was traveling with a 2 year old I would just strap him in his stroller or sling and make him see the things I want to see.

Botanical gardens might be a good choice too

Transportation museum!! Ride a double decker, chase pigeons at The Tower, take a boat ride on the Thames.

If you want a change of scenery, it's really easy to take the Eurostar to Paris from London. I did this with DD when she was 15 months old. We spent several days in the UK visiting friends and then spent 3 days in Paris. I was traveling with DD alone and it was very manageable.

Kew Gardens, Richmond, Greenwich, tons of parks, Science Museum (in the bottom level is a kids area), Natural History Museum, Hampton Court Palace, Princess Diana Memorial Playground, the Zoo, there is a ton to do with kids in London.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Will definetly keep a running list for things to do while we are there.
