There is, of course, a visit to Buckingham Palace, and the obligatory ice cream in the park! The range of sites around London provides a good overview of the city's famous landmarks. On their travels with the lion they visit St Paul's Cathedral, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge and some of the sights along the South Bank like The Globe Theatre. This one is introducing the city of London and I think it would work well for both children familiar with London as well as those who have never been. James Mayhew has a series of books about Katie that are usually introducing children to a particular artist. When Grandma gets tired they stop a while in Trafalgar Square, and whilst Grandma rests on a bench Katie and her brother find themselves going on a magical adventure with one of the Trafalgar Square lions! Katie is visiting London with her little brother and her Grandma. Summary: A lovely introduction to some of the very famous sights in London, perfect for sharing with children during the Queen's Jubilee year!
