There’s so much to do, this year we got tickets on the day for wicked using an app and it cost us £30 each for really good seats.

We’ve also done the Natural history museum, the science museum, the museum of London and the London transport museum.

There are also so many sights to see, Hyde park, Leicester Square, Westminster abbey, the London eye, tower bridge ect...

We’ve also travelled to the Harry Potter studios on one of our visits which was amazing.

We love London, one of our favourite places.

Today Tix. We had to be on it at 10am on the day to enter into the draw, I think there are 12 tickets up for sale at that price.

At first when we did it, it said none left, but when we refreshed we got two so it’s good to stick with it for a few minutes incase people don’t want them!

To be honest, you can usually pick up cheap tickets for Wicked just by popping by the theatre. Sure, you'll be near the back, but I've never had a bad seat in that theatre.

To be fair though, we paid £30 each for second row circle seats and had a fantastic view, it was well worth just being on the app for 5 mins to see if we could get tickets.

Obviously it depends on how badly you want to go to the theatre, if we had a show in mind we desperately wanted to see then we would have probably bought in advance or maybe asked at the ticket places the day before, but we weren’t too fussed what we saw.

If your kids are into dance then it might be worth looking into a fun dance lesson at Pineapple Dance Studios in Covent Garden. My DD went for the first time on Friday and had a blast, she does Dance for A Level so it’s great practice for her.
She said you pay a £1 membership for the day then it’s £8 per lesson. She did a Hip Hop one and a Contemporary Jazz one but there are others available. She seems to think it takes younger ages too so worth looking into if you think they’ll enjoy it

My daughter loves ballet so we often have a trip to ROH in Covent Garden, even if you don’t see a performance you can go in to the cafe and the display area upstairs, and onto the balcony overlooking Covent Garden. We’ve seen a few performances there, sometimes paying less than £30 each 😊
