Easter holidays activities for kids in London

What is it? A cute afternoon tea at this swish Park Lane restaurant, themed around the beloved picturebook Guess How Much I Love You?

Where is it? Lanes of London, Mar 13-Apr 19.

Why go? Costing £65 for an adult and £45 a child it’s a bit of a treat, but that’s generally the deal with afternoon tea. High concept dainties on offer inclide a whisker tip hare biscuit, a miniature wildflower meadow made with rhubarb confit, wild honey panna cotta and cocoa soil and a chocolate orange tree stump with a fluffy lychee rose cloud. The kids’ food is slightly simplified, but they do get a Nutbrown Hare soft toy and a copy of the book.

What is it? Following a successful debut last summer, this spring sees the return of the Tower of London’s Duke and Disorderly strand, essentially a series of playlets staged around the fortress’s grounds that imagine the Duke of Wellington’s efforts to impose order on the building after he was made Constable of the Tower in 1826.

Where is it? Tower of London, Mar 30-May 30.

Why go? Free with admission, it’s a bit of fun to pep up your visit. But it’s also a window into a completely different era of the Tower (and, indeed, the Napoleon-conquering Wellington).
