The best family days out in London and beyond rated by kids and teens

Londoners are being asked their favourite hidden gems in the capital. This was kick started earlier this week with celebrity residents such as Joanna Lumley and Grayson Perry, who chose Myddleton Square in Finsbury and Burt’s Tea Hut near High Beech in Epping Forest. Newsreader Jon Snow picked Kenwood House.

These hidden gems as well as a poll in the Evening Standard on readers’ favourite major London attraction are to help Boris Johnson when he launches his vision for cultural tourism later this month. Johnson himself chose Highbury Fields in Islington, describing them as “small but perfectly formed green space.”

The campaign is to help champion the more off-the-beaten track places in London that tourists may not know to visit. They are the places to visit if tourists want a more authentic experience of the Capital. Londoners on a day to day basis will rarely be found near the cities biggest attractions such as the London Eye.
While Highbury Fields is a nice bit of greenspace and it has a great playground, what international tourists will think of it is something else.
