If you are looking for an adventurous day out for all of the family, a change of scenery or something for the little ones to be in awe over, then plan a fun-filled day out with Avanti West Coast to London from Liverpool, and it should be on your to-do list.
With trains leaving as early as 5:30 am, taking just under two and a half hours to London Euston, and coming back into Lime Street on the same day as late as 11:50 pm, you have loads of time to do plenty in the capital.
Cram in plenty of activities or take it easy with the family whilst creating memories to cherish, all with the convenience of a direct journey to the city centre with free Wi-Fi and the options of three classes, the only UK rail operator to have those options.
Stroll around to see the famous sights
Take in the wonderfully chaotic atmosphere swirling around the air as you walk from one historic sight to the next.
Walk up the famous red carpet to let the mammoth Buckingham Palace stand over you, keep an eye out for the iconic royal guards on selected days, explore the royal gardens or take a look at The King’s Gallery.
Carry on ticking off the sights of Westminster by locking your eyes onto Big Ben and Westminster Abbey before rounding it off by taking in the monumental views on the London Eye.
Take in the UNESCO World Heritage site and fortress by walking across the Tower Bridge and viewing the Tower of London, with views of the Crown Jewels on display.
Let the fun of planning take over, or sit back and allow an informative walking tour or a hop-on, hop-off bus tour do all the work.
Catch surreal creatures at their very best
View some of the most breathtaking animals right in front of your eyes at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, with over 500 species.
See the colony of Gentoo penguins slipping and sliding, be starstruck at the sand tiger and reef sharks in the underwater tunnels or let the little ones lose themselves in the interactive areas.
Keeping with the animal theme, London Zoo offers a day that will encapsulate young hearts for a lifetime at Regent’s Park.
Take your pick from over 8,000 animals that include an amazing family of Western lowland gorillas, endangered Sumatran tigers and Asiatic lions.
Immersive experiences await
Lose track of time in The Science Museum with live experiments, a space exploration gallery and collections involving revolutionary inventions.
Feel inspired to inspire the youngsters on the family trip by going into the Natural History Museum for free and taking a step back in time in the dinosaur gallery, as well as making your way through the coloured zones to take a look at the 80 million items on display.
Take the weight off your feet, literally, by having a go at the Zero Gravity room at the Paradox Museum, which also boasts plenty of whimsical optical illusions.
The Paddington Bear Experience and Shrek’s Adventure are also two of many other things on offer to make that day trip extra special for all of the family.
