If you're visiting London these are some of the places that I'd recommend you visit.
1. The Charles Dickens Museum is a must see for fans of the author. It's the house where he wrote Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby and other books. It's the only house of his that exists and there are over 100,000 items including manuscripts, rare editions, personal items, paintings and other visual sources. It's great for families too.

2. I love the theatre and one of my favourite shows is Wicked the musical at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. It's a truly magical show with an amzing cast and set.

3. The Prince Charles cinema is a repertory cinema in London's Leicester Square. It screens cult, arthouse and classic films aswell as recent releases. It also hosts sing-a-longs, which are great fun. My favourite being the Rocky Horror Picture Show(I love getting dressed up)! Lovely staff and a fantastic atmosphere make this my favourite cinema.

4. The Southbank Centre is a family favourite. It's made up of several smaller venues on the South Bank of the River Thames, which gives you an amazing view of London. You'll find art,music, authors, food markets and many more wonderful things to take in whilst you visit. Many of the events are free and family friendly. You can easily spend the whole day there as there is so much to do.

5. Ice skating at Somerset House is only available in the winter season and it's a little pricey but I think it's worth it for a special treat. It has a picturesque, romantic, magical setting and the surrounding buildings are beautiful! A friend of mine actually proposed to his girlfriend there and it's easy to see why. I visit Somerset House several times throughout the year as they have wonderful art galleries, exhibitions and family events which my son loves.
