In London after Christmas, maybe

[Gups]

Very posh and convenient area.  There are several hospitals within a few miles.

[Brazen]

Is the London Dungeon still around? For the kids.

Yes, but it's moved - it's now on South Bank next to the London eye. Buy timeslot tickets in advance to avoid the queues.

[Brazen]

Restaurants, pubs, Tescos in the area?

Don't know about Tescos, but there's Harrods, which is the posh people's Tescos!

[Sheilbh]

For food maybe Hawksmoor Sunday roast? If you're on Brick Lane I've heard really good things about Chez Elles.

How old are the kids? Maybe try and get tickets at one of the outdoor rinks?

[Richard Hakluyt]

Yes, if your wife enjoys shopping then she should be let loose in Harrod's, apparently it is a paradise if you like that sort of thing.

I have a bunch of Spanish/Danish in-laws coming over between Xmas and NY. I've taken on responsibility for one day of their intinery

Will be taking them for breakfast at the Shard (Aquashard) followed by a wonder around Borough market, the river bus to Greenwich, lunch at the market  then we split into some going to the Maritime museum with the missus and the less-informed being inflicted with Charlton v Sheffield Wednesday at the Valley.

It'll probably piss it down all day

After a really shitty year at work,

...because the shitty year is getting even shittier right at the end, my trip to London is postponed indefinitely.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

It's for the best. If you can visit the IWM, it's not worth the trouble.

Call in sick?

It's still open, just not the good bits. It closes for 6 month in January though:

[Pedrito]

OH YES.

I decided I don't give a fuck about my job schedule and I booked a flight to London for the whole family, from april 16th to 21st 

It will be during the Easter holidays, because I will make a mess with the job but my wife doesn't want the kids to skip too many school days, so the city will be overcrowded and expensive as hell 

Mandatory visits (more to be added):
- Tower of London
- British Museum
- Natural History and maybe Science Museum, complete with Imax show
- One or two of Tate, Tate Modern, National Gallery, V&A, depending of the whining level
- Rainforest Cafe ( )
- London Eye and maybe river cruise
- Westminster Abbey & Big Ben
- Harrods and Fortnum & Mason (for the lady)
- Hamleys...

I assume the museums will be surely open on Easter and Easter Monday, can the same be said about major attractions and stores?
Are there regulations about minors entering pubs? Just in case some fellow languishite wants to catch up with a family of noisy italians and have a pint

Fabulous news! 

Pubs that serve food generally allow kids in.

And while Harrods is best for browsing (and getting free samples) Selfridges is a better luxury store to actually shop in. I'm filming at the Science Museum tomorrow so I'll check out the latest exhibits there.

Happy to join La Familia Pedrito as your agenda allows. A South Bank death walk day incorporating much of your to-do list might make a good one for Languishites.

I'm not sure the museums will be open on Easter, maybe worth checking. The Abbey and St Paul's will though

The museums are open over Easter (most only shut 24-26 December), school holidays are when they do their most business.
