London eye, boat trip to greenwich, play area in Kensington gardens, Science museum, Tower of London (maybe to much for him) i think the street artists around the london eye would be fun for a 4 yr. old or covent garden

If your heading to Regent Street then a trip to Hanleys toy shop is in order. Your 4 year old will love it - but your wallet wont. :signLOL:

No occasion, they get bored  :signLOL:

I think for their summer they come here as it's too hot in their country and London is a millionaires playground.

Imperial War Museum is a must. Natural History as well, but perhaps the wee ones won't be as interested. The Science Museum has some great stuff for kids. The Planetarium is worth a go, but Tussauds isn't.

At the end of the day, hit the champagne bar at St Pancras to ease the strain.

This is pretty common for this area in July / August, all goes quiet at the start of Ramadan  :happy2:
