Time Out’s ‘London for Children’ Guide
2nd edition. Published May 31st 2002.
The second edition of the hugely popular guide. A new addition to the Time Out family, the London for Children guide brings Time Out’s expert knowledge to making the most out of London with the kids. In true Time Out style this is the most comprehensive guide of its kind.
Written and researched by a London-based team of writers and parents, this full colour 322-page paperback book is bursting with ideas, editorial listings, colour photos, detailed maps, box features of special recommendations and lots, lots more.
The guide is aimed at everyone with, or caring for children and covers stimulating, imaginative and interesting things for parents and children to experience in the best city in the world.
It is divided into easy-to-use sections:
In Context:
London's history, New London, and the city’s best seasonal events.
Sightseeing:
Full listings of guaranteed child pleasers. As well as the Central London favourites we go north, east, south-east, south-west and west – area by area – all the essential information.
Includes useful touches such as nearest picnic places, buggy access, nappy changing facilities. Great days out are highlighted and a child-friendly walk is suggested for every area.
Junior Consumers:
Full listings and choices for family shopping and eating.
Activites & Fun:
With chapters on Arts & Entertainment – theatre, cinema, galleries and museums;
Parties – venues for face-painting, cookery, paintballing and lots more; Sport & Leisure – sports available to children, and where to find instruction and facilities.


Days Out:
The pick of farms and zoos, the seaside, castles, steam train rides, theme parks, gardens – all within two hours of London.
Directory:
An invaluable source of vital information and phone numbers ranging from London travel information to local council contact numbers.
Plus:
An additional 32-page Good Toy Guide AND kids go free at Hampton Court, the London Dungeon, the Tower of London and the Science Museum’s IMAX cinema.
Whatever you need to keep your children occupied in the evenings, weekends or during the school holidays, we’ll help you organise it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating to use, 27 Sep 2003
By David Bradshaw "hassleddad" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This guide is packed full of useful information, but it is organised so badly that most of it is unaccessible. I was meaning to use it extensively to organise my four-year-olds summer break, but in the end could not find anything of use in this book that I didn't already know about.

To improve it, the authors need to
1. Be more opinionated about the entries, so I know what's good and what isn't. Currently the entries are innocuos in the extreme.
2. Write more about things with lots to do, less about things that have very little (many entries in a section are all the same length).
3. Drop the borough-by-borough organisation, it's pointless (provide it in the index instead).
4. Provide an index by age.
5. Do it just for kids, so drop all the tourist sights (you can read about these in plenty of other places) unless they're heavily geared towards kids (so drop Buck Palace, keep the London Transport Museum).
6. Print the book so it will stay open, it doesn't immediately close itself if you let go (unless you break the spine...)

If the authors and editors did this kind of thing, this might be useful, but at the moment this is a really frustrating book to try and do anything useful with if you don't have time to read it cover-to-cover and make your own index!

5.0 out of 5 stars this is the one to go for!, 14 Jul 2002
By MR KIM A SARGEANT (Cardiff Wales) - See all my reviews
...so, I was in for a dark and dismal time in London until I picked up this brilliant book and discovered what a wonderful place London really is for 10-year olds! It is packed with fun ideas and things to do and places to see with all the extra info like websites, phone nos, admission prices and opening times - and all very up to date. This handy guide is grouped into different areas around London with places to eat and visit and written by someone who really knows what interests kids. I particularly liked the 'things to do' with handy tips about places! What's more, it's really good value - and you get some money off vouchers inside. Last but not least, it's not too big to carry around with you. My trip's all planned now!
