Planning for the trip to London with the kids has begun!

At Easter we go to London with our kids. It will be the first time for both Filippa (8 years) and Gustaf (6 years) so there will be some classic sightseeing to places you 'must' have seen, and some children's activities. I would also like visit some interesting restaurants! The more I do research of what to do in London, the more I look forward to the journey, there is so much amazing fun to do in London for a family!

My son loves Lego and we have promised him a trip to Legoland in Billund (Denmark) at some point. But, it is long trip to get there from Stockholm and not really anything else to do in Billund, But, a colleague of my wife told her that there is a Legoland in London, only a short ride from city center. We checked it out and online and found out that it was so! For some reason, this is unknown in Sweden and I can not find any Swedish blogs or articles about Legoland Windsor. So, good thing that we are going there and do the research! With a Lego crazy son, and when I like Lego myself, the question is not if we are going there, but if we will spend one ot two days there...

 I begin, as usual, my research to see what other travel blogs or reports there are about London for children. The "musts" so far is:
- Harry Potter studio  - a place outside London where one gets a tour of the stages etc where the Harry Potter movies are produced.
