Cerberus Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Currently enjoying it's delights with family. 18 year old son has been given 3 phone numbers by random burds, one was serving him food!! Needless to say he is in his fucking element and wants to live here That's the bill not a telephone number.Nevertheless, I'm surprised you have an 18 year old son. I'd have you in the early 20s age range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Fair enjoyed that. Making way homeward now. Wee man had a ball. We found the required number of parks and fountains to let him run off his endless energy, I even managed a solitary pint inside Greenwich Market whilst he ate his way through a wage packet of food.Don't tell the guys that run the helter skelter at the Cutty Sark that he's not five yet! Different perspective taking a kid to London than going on a session or for work. Much more fun had by all this time.Greenwich is superb. Good to hear you had a good time, I'm thinking of killing 2 birds with the one stone in a few weeks. My grandson is 3 1/2 and was thinking of meeting my son & partner in London - so they can have a wee break & I can spend some quality time with the wee man, as I'm only in the UK on average once or twice a year I like to spend as much time with him as I can.Also a friend has not long taken a job as an air stewardess (total wid) based as Stanstead so could stay for a week and spend some time at hers too.If it's not to prying, what were the highlights for your wee boy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing he talked about most after the event was playing on the pirate ship here: www.royalparks.org.uk (Diana Memorial Park, how topical!). We spent quite a bit of time in there.He predictably loved being the "driver" on the Docklands Railway, every kid would enjoy that.And I'd hesitate to recommend it, because I know it is due to close for refit of that wing soon, but the Ahoy! kids zone at the Maritime Museum Greenwich was a lot of fun and really geared up for kids of pre school age. If it's still open, it will be a guaranteed hit.Finally if you go in decent weather take a pair of swimming shorts, as there are a load of kid friendly fountains for splashing in.He had a ball I must say. We only did a Fri-Sun but I'm sure we could easily have killed more time there, and we spent most of our time in Greenwich alone, so plenty we didn't see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I still think a kid would be excited by walking through the "secret" tunnel under the Thames from Greenwich to the Isle of Dogs. Maybe not at 3 1/2 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended Spitalfields market near Liverpool Street before for eating, Borough Market by London Bridge is probably better for buying. There are much cheaper ones of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Borough anyway, unless you want to buy the ingredients to cook with. Totally overrated imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did manage to get him around Bruichladdich distillery since then so I'm making sure he's getting led astray in other ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads around there. Google pubs near Bayswater Road. They won't be as expensive as the ones nearest the hall in South Kensington. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be spotless even when slightly nervously staggering through it at 4am after a party, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
