Natural History Museum Just a stone's throw from The Ampersand, the Natural History Museum is a treasure trove for curious minds of all ages. Your children can marvel at dinosaur skeletons and explore fascinating exhibits, giving you a perfect opportunity to enjoy some adult time later while a Stays nanny looks after them.

Science Museum Directly next door to the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum offers interactive displays and engaging workshops that will captivate young scientists. It's a fantastic spot for children to learn and play, and with a Stays babysitter, parents can even pop back for a quiet coffee nearby.

Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) While the V&A might seem more adult-oriented, it has fantastic family trails and creative workshops designed for children. After a stimulating visit, you could arrange for a Stays nanny to take the little ones back to the hotel for some downtime while you explore more of the museum's incredible collections.

Hyde Park A short stroll from the hotel, Hyde Park offers vast green spaces perfect for running around, picnicking, or visiting the Diana Memorial Playground.
