There are loads of brilliant free activities for kids in London! The Science Museum and Natural History Museum are both fantastic choices, packed with hands-on exhibits, interactive zones and fun for all ages. The British Museum is another great stop, especially for older children who love stories about ancient Egypt or Roman treasure. For outdoor fun, head to Hyde Park or Regent’s Park, where kids can enjoy wide open spaces and play areas. Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is completely free to watch and always a hit with children, as is spotting the pelicans in St James’s Park. Southbank also has loads going on year-round, with buskers, pop-up art, and river views that make for a fun wander.

There’s something exciting for every age group in London, and a few standouts really shouldn't be missed. The London Eye is always a hit – kids love spotting landmarks from way up high. The Tower of London is another must-see, especially if your family is into tales of kings, queens and ravens. You can even see the Crown Jewels! If you're visiting when the weather’s good, take a river cruise down the Thames or hop on a London bus tour – it’s a great way to explore London. For a bit of magic, Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station is a fun stop for Harry Potter fans. And if you're near Greenwich, don’t miss Cutty Sark and the Greenwich Park playground – the park also has great views and space to run around. There's something to wow every young explorer.

In 2020 we launched Premier Inn CleanProtect™, our rigorous, daily cleaning method that’s used throughout our UK & Ireland hotels. Developed in partnership with Diversey, a global leader in cleaning and hygiene products for the healthcare and hospitality industries, our promise seeks to give you extra peace of mind so you can always book and stay with confidence.

Check-in - minimising contact at reception and providing hand sanitiser in most public areas for peace of mind. 

Bed linen and towels - laundering all our linen and towels at over 60°C to thermally disinfect them, so you can enjoy a great night’s sleep. We’ve also placed spare pillows in a zip-up bag, for extra peace of mind.

Equipping our teams - providing our team members with all the equipment and sanitisers they need, as well as always operating in the safest way possible for our teams and guests.

A generous serving of safety - you can relax knowing that enhanced cleaning measures are in place throughout our restaurants. Tables are cleaned between visits and contactless payment is in place too, so you can dine safely and comfortably with us every time.

Clean on request - if you'd like your room cleaned during your stay with us, just let us know at reception and use the handy door hanger on the back of your door by 12pm each day.
