      London: Need help with 4 day Itinerary with Autistic 7 year old/one parent

      Jump to last reply Flag this topic

      I am traveling to London in a few weeks (late July/early August) for one week, but we technically have only 4 days to sight see with two other adult friends. My son is a child with mild Autism and I will be taking his special needs buggy.

      Would you mind helping me with my itinerary? Not yet in itinerary: We want to see Peter Pan @ Kensington Park/Gardens and we also have to squeeze in a dinner with friends wherever we can meet. We also want the double decker bus experience and the River cruise experience somehow -- How do we do that, where to fit in?
      And the Harry Potter experience -- visiting 9 3/4 platform.Notting Hill visit, too.

      My draft of the itinerary is below:

      Thanks!

      Ease into that Thursday with some easy stuff: Princess Diana Memorial Playground in nearby Kensington Gdns, Play date with friends children. Picnic Lunch with kids.
      -- Natural Museum of History: There is a Butterfly Garden inside, a new exhibit that has hundreds of living butterflies flying about the place, where you can touch them, walk with them, etc. Free museum, butterly: 6 quid.

      FRI: St. James/Westminster
      --Big Ben (just for the picture and to hear its bell)
      * Westminster Abbey (but the last admission is 3:30) - across from Big Ben apparently
      * London Eye (You don't have to suffer! We'll go--it's only 30 min.)
      *Dali Museum
      *Dinner with mates somewhere local

      SAT: The City
      --Tower of London
      -- is it possible to have a Boat ride past London Bridge to Tate Modern?
      --Tate Modern
      --Trafalgar Square & Cafe in the Crypt (it's inside St Martin in the Fields at Trafalgar Sqare! A crypt!!)

      SUN:
      --Play date and lunch in North London
      --Perhaps visit the Kings Cross station? (Platform 9 3/4)
      --Piccaddilly Circus
      --Trafalgar Square et al (if we had not seen it yet)

      MON:
      --Check out flat, taxi to Paddington, train to Wales

      I don't know how long certain visits take, and there are so many places to visit.
