Are u visiting London with families for site seeing:

London is an expensive city for North Americans, especially when the exchange rate favors the English pound. Below are tips to help you do some great London sightseeing, with minimal hassles and reasonable cost.

Museums are free!
This is a wonderful boon for London sightseers. Kids will love the hands-on Science Museum: plan to spend many hours there and at the adjacent Museum of Natural History. The latter has an amazing collection of realdinosaurs (dead bones, that is, but the real Mccoy). Also not to be missed is the British Museum, with Egyptian mummies, Greek statues, and much more.

Use the Tube and Buy a Family Pass
"The Tube", as the Underground is affectionately called, is wonderfully efficient way to get around: you can even take it from Heathrow Airport.
Once you're in the city core, your best bet is to buy a day-long Family Pass. Fortunately, there is a real live person selling tickets at all tube stations --at least, all that I've ever seen-- who can help you figure out the best pass for your purposes.

BYOS
Bring Your Own Snacks: pad your suitcases with granola bars, juice packs, and the mini-packages of snacks you send in kids' lunches. They'll come in handy when you're out sight-seeing, and they'll save a bundle too: you'll be surprised how much even MacDonald's costs, across the pond.

Stroll the Thames
The Thames has many areas that are great for strolling, with restaurants, maybe even street entertainers (around the London Eye, for instance.) Nothing beats walking as a way to enjoy the vibe of a place.

Buy tickets online in advance
Top London sightseeing attractions are very popular indeed, especially in summer: buy tickets online for the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe, to be sure you see the sights you want; plus, you won't waste time standing in line-ups, er, queues, either.
