Fodor's Around London with Kids
Trade Paperback

If London contained only its landmarks it would still rank as one of the world's top destinations. But England's capital is much more. It is a bevy of English bobbies, an ocean of black umbrellas, and an unconquered continuance of more than 2,000 years of history. Now an uber-cool city, London remains history-steeped. Drop in on Buckingham Palace, delight in Pollock's Victorian toy museum, then get Beatle-ized at Abbey Road. You'll find London is a Dickens of a place.
