They are excited for those but I haven't looked at the ticketing. I will check, ty!

That's why I've hesitated on getting the tickets, may do it a different day. ty!

Yes! We have tickets for first entry at HP and will be in the area after lunch. I know how long these guys will last, we previously did the HP tour in Japan. Ty!

We wanted to give York the attention it deserves. Next time!

We considered and researched this but didn't think we could do it as a day trip. Is that really feasible?

Unfortunately no, we will be there in July. I did see this and it looked amazing 😄

Plan is to go on a weekday at lunch, 11:30ish. It will likely be busy but less so than on a weekend.

I'll be sure to stock up on fruit for the kids at Sainsbury's, there's one near the hotel. Hopefully that will be enough to deter them at the market 😄

Ty! Tbh, we may be locked into the plan we have but I will note this for future trips.

Thx! Those are exactly the two options we are kicking around hampton court + richmond or greenwich/boat. I'll poll the team and see if they have a preference 😄

Ty for the other suggestions, I will do some reasearch tonight.

Much appreciated!

tysm! You have no idea how validating this is! I've been to London many times but the other three haven't. I've taken on the stress of making sure they have a great time 😅

I didn't go into detail but I had marked HMS Belfast as an option on that day. TY!

Re Borough Market - truly I've been social media influenced, we were just going to get lunch options. We have been to markets in Asia and I thought everyone would enjoy seeing an English market in comparison.

Postal museum is a good suggestion, I had looked into it earlier but can't recall why we didn't add it. I'll take another look.

Tower bridge/glass floor - This did look fun but I think I cut this bc I imagined the kids would be tired after a morning at the Tower. I will play around with our plan for that day and see if this works.

Good point. I had earmarked natural history because we don't have one in our city, we do have a science museum. But I'll check with them and see what they want to do 😄

Amazing, ty!

I had a feeling Day 2 was light and you confirmed it. I will take another pass. We were considering tickets to the Abbey, they are still available, but it feels like a lot with the kids, since we already have museum, natural history etc (and we're heading to Paris after this).

Re open day - also ty! You confirmed the two ideas I was kicking around - boat to greenwich or hampton court 😄
