The capital city can seem pretty darn big when you're little, but don't worry, there's plenty of fun to be had for the whole family. Whether you've got young muggles on the hunt for a Harry Potter-themed adventure, adrenaline junkies with a need for speed or tiny ravers ready for a squash-fuelled party, we've created a guide to keeping kids entertained in London. You can thank us later (when they're sleeping peacefully).

Ayllu maybe known for its lush dark green interiors and Japanese Peruvian fashion plates, but its also a brilliant Paddington-based restaurant to take the kids this February half term. From Monday 12th 'til Sunday the 25th, children up to the age of 10 can enjoy a free meal alongside every full paying adult meal. Meaning you can get your chops around crunchy tacos while they scoff mac and cheese or pesto spaghetti.

See Your City

The quirky pub, complete with pillars and hanging plants, offers a fantastic deal for kids every Saturday where it hosts a supervised arts and crafts service. So, tuck into some delicious fare like beer-battered haddock served with triple-cooked chips, or a juicy cheeseburger alongside a crisp pint, while your little ones get creative.
