London in a Weekend with Two Kids: A Step-By-Step Travel Guide About What to See and Where to Eat (Amazing Family-Friendly Things to Do in London When You Have Little Time) Paperback – December 6, 2019

There is so much info on websites for travel that you can become overwhelmed with what to do in such a short time. This book gives you great suggestions to help prepare you before you go and a day by day plan of places to see and restaurants to try. He also divides the city into zones so you don't waste any time. This book is concise and very well planned to make your vacation stress free.

This is not Hassan Osman's first travel book, and as with the first, he delivers. Consolidating tons of research as well having traversed the city in real life WITH children allows him to provide a realistic schedule for managing to see all London's kid-friendly highlights in just a few days! Having recently done London with our daughter, I can say that that I specifically appreciated the way each day is broken into a specific "zone" or geographic area. This is much more efficient (not to mention, less tiring) than criss-crossing the city all day long to hit different "must-see" locations.The effort and content is worth 5 stars, I'm just sorry nothing slightly more educational wasn't included. Understanding that many children don't love museums, we still try to include one when we travel. London has a ton of interesting museums including Churchill's War Rooms or the floating HMS Belfast that are appropriate for children of different ages. That-said, the built-in buffer time enables you to add these sites as is most appropriate for your group.

I followed the travel book Paris in a Weekend by the same author this summer. All of his recommendations were spot-on for two grandparents traveling with a four year old. Looking forward to a repeat of a perfect vacation with this new book about London in a Weekend. Highly recommend!

I used Rome in a weekend by the same author the last fall. It helped us traveling with 6 and 2years old. His recommendations were Wonderful. Traveling with young kids can be joyful. =) I can’t wait to visit London with my two kid.

Loved Rome, loved Paris. Now going to London this summer and expect this book to be just as helpful as his others.Gaggle of kids ages 4-10 and they were completely entertained.

H. Osman has a pleasant and clear writing style in his short travel itineraries. As a fairly frequent traveler to London and Paris and Rome, I can recommend his books to couples traveling with children 6-pre-teen years. The best plans are the product of advanced research and of useful simplification. Mr. Osman has done a reasonable job of doing that for his family and for families with similar interests. As just one example, this guide points out that much of the show relating to the Changing of the Guard can be seen and heard at Horse Guards Barracks, just before the march down to the Palace begins. I agree that this is a good tip for any of us, and is particularly good for families with children. Crowds are less dense and this is a good time to appreciate the color and the uniforms and the horses and their equipment. On the whole, a Friday, Saturday and Sunday can be profitably and pleasurably filled just by following the itinerary.

I was absolutely taken by how Hassan managed to make an overwhelming city like London seem so easy to navigate. I grew up in the UK and now live in the USA, we have three kids but avoided visiting London as a family thinking my kids are too little (9,5,5) to make it enjoyable with the stress of travelling/ FOMO and FOBO (read the book to learn more about this!).Now I am seriously considering to add London as our next destination. We typically travel to the Middle East every summer from the USA and make a day or two of connections in European cities to explore or just rest with the kids (my kids are 9,5,5 years old). Having a book like this with very easy to follow instructions makes a plan to visit London doable yet exciting and stress free. Hassan seems to have researched the destinations very well and I like how he threw in real life examples of what he did with his children. There is just the right amount of information you need (I like how he added the "the time needed" per attraction, which many books/reviews tend to exclude).This book will not disappoint you if you want access information and steps to the best kid friendly attractions in London.

Another great book if you have children and want to see the main city sights in a couple of days. After purchasing Paris in a weekend with two kids and loved it, I was keen to see what the London book had to offer. As a UK resident I’ve been to London but always struggle to know the best way to make it manageable, especially now with two children. This book follows the same format as the Paris book, it divides the city into manageable chunks and plans it out over a weekend. An easy to read and follow book, it won’t take you months to get through before you go. The added pdf resource is a bonus, as to the tips about which apps to download before you travel. The journey over the weekend takes you to all the main highlights, with interesting hints and tips around each venue. I shall be visiting a few places named in the book that I hadn’t known about previously. Good luck with keeping your children to the suggested timings - I struggle to get mine out of Hamley's in under an hour and a half! However, there is the flexible Sunday afternoon slot to revisit or 'fit in' missed sections. The only thing missing from this book (knowing how draining London can be) is the required recovery day on Monday to get over the packed weekend navigating London and all its sights! A great book, enjoy.

Another amazing city guide! My husband and I went to Rome for a weekend with our 2 children (now 12 and 14) last summer and our entire break religiously followed your previous book recommendations. We have since raved about the food and the opportunities to our friends as the day or half day plans offered us opportunities we would never have found ourselves, whilst at the same time taking into account the fact that it is a break and needs rest time or downtime built in. Although I have lived in London, this newest book affords me the insight into how I could plan a day to best show London off to our friends from France! I am looking forward to the Hyde Park day out immensely already, the fish and chips suggestion and the afternoon tea. Can't wait to read the Paris guide next. Please keep writing more....these books are as great for holidays with teenagers as they are for younger children...and so quick to read....bonus!

This is a very easy to read and interesting short guidebook which includes a handy map and very useful tips and shortcuts. It also includes suggestions for places to eat which are not just chain restaurants. It helpfully divides the main tourist attractions into zones which saves time and too much walking around. It also contains interesting historical points specific to the attractions in the book and has been thoroughly researched. The Guide manages to fit in a lot of London. Definitely a must read guide if you’re visiting London with kids.

We have followed the WE in Rome book with my family, and we have managed to do so much in such a short time. I have been living in London for 15 years and I have still managed to discover new things to do and also pleased to see that all the must do are recommended there.... highly recommended for organising a we in London
