On Our Own in London

On Our Own in London An experiential travel guide to London Now it’s our time to travel.

Travel, now that the kids are grown…

If you’ve traveled with children, you know about:

—rushing through museums, with barely enough time to glance at the masterpieces
—foregoing the cozy local bistro and searching for restaurants that serve chicken fingers and pizza
—dealing with minor childhood illnesses while in a foreign city
—constant reminders to “use your indoor voice” in hotel hallways or

quiet cathedrals
—quickly finding restrooms, loos, toilets, facilities, WCs

We’ve been there and we’ve done that. On Our Own in London is an experiential guide to London—not just facts about sightseeing, opening times, and hotel reviews, but a resource that shares experiences about this great city and inspires you to travel. If you are already planning a trip to London, please consider our book —Let’s Take the Kids to London. Although geared towards family travel, the book insightfully covers London for travelers of all ages. Let’s Take the Kids to London is available in paperback from your local bookstore or in paperback and e-book online.
