Bancone - Covent Garden

Bombay cafe in Covent Garden with an all-day kids' menu of smaller dishes with very little spice.

A playzone of little trains, boats and a cable car your kid gets to drive, made for under-fives.

Aldwych hotel with an 18m indoor pool cleaned with minerals, baby bath, bottle warmer and steriliser, and cots and extra beds.

Bustling art-deco brasserie with French comfort dishes and a kids' menu of a main plus a dessert.

South Bank observation wheel with slow enclosed pods for spotting landmarks over the river.

A nautical ship to climb, a double slide and talking tubes, all fenced, and it suits toddlers up to about 11.
