Our choice of accommodation, The Landmark, set the tone for our entire vacation. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were enveloped in luxury and charm. And let's be honest, any place with a doorman sporting a top hat is sure to impress! The spacious rooms, elegant anterooms, and luxurious bathrooms made us feel like royalty, while the authentic British afternoon tea added a touch of sophistication to our stay. It truly elevated our London experience to new heights.

Once we had settled in, our first stop was The Mayfair Chippy—a culinary gem renowned for its Michelin guide accredited fish and chips. With taste buds tingling and anticipation building, we savored every bite, knowing we were in for a treat.
But the true highlight of our trip was experiencing the magic of Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theater. As avid fans of the show since its release on Disney+, my daughters were over the moon at the chance to see it live. The energy, the music, the sheer talent—it was an experience that brought us closer together as a family and left us in awe.

Before the show, we dined at The Ivy—a restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere and eclectic decor that captured our hearts. Even the bathrooms were a hit with their playful design, adding an extra layer of fun to our evening.

Of course, no visit to London would be complete without a ride on the iconic London Eye. While the views were undeniably stunning, I couldn't help but feel that it didn't quite live up to the hype. If you're short on time or budget, I'd recommend skipping it and exploring other attractions instead.

Navigating the city was a breeze thanks to the convenience of the Underground. With its easy-to-use system and contactless payment options, getting around London was a seamless experience. No more fumbling with complicated ticket machines—just tap your credit card and go. It's little touches like these that make exploring a new city with your family that much more enjoyable.
The London Underground — Mind the gap!
As we bid farewell to London and headed to our next city, we carried with us cherished memories of laughter, discovery, and connection. Early summer in the city had cast its spell on us, leaving us with hearts full of joy and a newfound appreciation for the magic of family travel. Until next time, London!
