🏨 Why we chose to stay at the Sheraton Park Lane—and why it might be perfect for your next stay.

🦖 The must-see kid-friendly spots (and the ones we’d skip).
🚫 The one attraction we wouldn’t recommend.
🍽️ And of course, what we learned about food, fun, and navigating London as a family.

I even went around talking to Londoners about what and where to eat—which led me straight to the number one spot for fish and chips. I never knew Londoners were so passionate about their fish and chips—and how cutlery should be used. 🐟🍟 The conversations alone were a cultural experience!

We share all the surprises—both the magical and the meh—and let you know what we’d do differently next time.
