Brick Lane is famous for its curries and I’d never had one. This needed to be rectified. We’d googled the restaurants with the best reviews and booked a table with a 20% online discount at Aladin’s.
From the outside, it is not much to look at, but I can honestly say this is probably the best curry I’ve ever eaten. And I’ve been to India (and Birmingham).
Absolutely delicious. Bravado husband however had gone for a hot. Bad move. It just made him a bit teary and sweaty, and foolishly he issued a devilish chilli-challenge that youngest child couldn’t resist. 2 diners were in tears now.
But those who had guarded their taste buds were in dinner-heaven. Even better is that it is BYO, and your waiter will go to the off licence next door with your order on your behalf. Service above and beyond.
It was definitely worth travelling from China (town) for. And I was forgiven for all earlier scheduling misdemeanours. Sadly, I have no pictures as curry sauce never photographs well.
Wow, what a fun trip! I agree that, no matter how many times you visit London, there is always more to see! I can’t even count how many times I’ve been and I’ve still not done most of the things you’ve listed! I’d love to explore Hyde Park properly, I’ve only ever passed through. I’d also love to visit Brick Lane, it looks like such a cool area and those bagels look awesome! Thanks for the great guide!
London can be really expensive to take the family to, so it’s great that you’ve found some free things to do with the kids!
So many great things to do with or without kids! Curry is such a great shout and I love the V&A! Awesome itinerary
This is a great post! I didn’t know there were so many activities for kids in London. It’s lovely to see this cosmopolitan city has something for everyone. I have been a couple of times to London, and I have always found something new. I love the Parakeets in Hyde Park picture.
Great itinerary for kids in London! So much to do. Sounds like a really fun trip.
London is such a great city to visit with kids. London was actually one of my top bucket list cities when I was a kid. I visited in October 2019 and loved it! 🙂
I’m glad one of your bucket list dreams came true. My list keeps getting longer with lockdown armchair travelling/ dreaming 😀
I’d visit London again in a heartbeat given the opportunity!
Pinned!
It’s a city that just keeps on giving isn’t it?
I love the fact that the museum’s in London are free to visit #moschiefandmemories@_karendennis
Great isn’t it? I still can’t quite believe I’ve seen a meteor and Martian rock😁
This is a fantastic post! Will pin for when we can go, my little one really wants to go to London! #MischiefandMemories
Thank you! Enjoy your trip when it happens. I’m keen to get back asap.😀
These are some fantastic ideas, even without kids! Those rainbow bagels are awesome 🙂
I’m so glad to see you at ‘My Corner of the World’ this week!
Thank you! It was a great bagel shop. I may be brave enough to try the bagel of many colours myself next time.😀
I miss our trips to London! I will have to revisit this article when we are finally able to go again. The theatre production of Frozen is set to open this year, so I really want to take my daughter. Plus a trip to Hamleys 🙂 #mischiefandmemories
Hope you get to go soon. Frozen sounds great!
One of the best travel posts I have ever read. London can be overwhelming and this makes me want to revisit and do at least some of these things. Roll on the end of Lockdown! #MischiefandMemories. To be honest as someone who went as a child to London loads and have visited with work as an adult, it amazes me how few of these I have done.
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, really appreciated. 😊 I really hope you get to go back soon – most of these were new to me too and we go all the time. Counting down the days to freedom here too.
We’ve yet to do Platfork 9 3/4 but the oldest is desperate to go when all this is over! #mischiefandmemories
I love this post! We live in London and still haven’t run out of new sights to see. Loving those photos of you feeding the birds lol!! I can’t wait to be able to just hop onto the tube or bus to see where we end up. Thank you for joining us for #MischiefAndMemories 🙂
I think a mini break to London might be on the cards when lockdown ends! There are so many places to visits, even if some are just passing sights. Thanks for linking up with #MischiefAndMemories
There are some great ideas there. We live in London and I have done all my life and there are still things that I have seen for the first time this year. I loved your parakeets photo. We have them in my part of London too so I sit in the mornings and watch them flying in and out of the church steeple behind the house. They are also regular visitors to our garden. I really love watching them. #MischiefAndMemories
