I am an expert on family travel to London, England and the United Kingdom. I can provide practical, up-to-date advice and information for families planning to visit London. I have traveled to the city numerous times with my two children and have written a guidebook based on these experiences. The fourth edition of the guidebook—LET'S TAKE THE KIDS TO LONDON—is published by Roaring Forties Press (Berkeley CA). The book and eBook are available online from Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, Apple iBookstore, and other booksellers. My website is www.KidsToLondon.com. I enjoy helping fellow travelers and welcome questions from families and others visiting London.
