One of our favorite day trips out in London is to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. There are plenty of working models and interactive exhibits to keep your little ones engaged. Little miss just loves being able to "drive" all the real busses and trains. Also, your ticket entitles you to an annual membership so the museum is great value as well.
The old double decker route masters are so cool :)
A really gorgeous exhibit of transport inspired art...
The gift shop is really nice and not filled with the usual fodder. They even sell textiles! Check out this display of really gorgeous pillows...
Since it was the last day of the Olympics, we wanted to soak up the atmosphere and we weren't dissapointed. Just look at how crowded Covent Garden was...

Oh and if you're itching for some cupcakes, check out sweet couture cupcake boutique which is only a 5 minute walk from the museum. I always pop in when in the area :)
Enjoy!
my kids love the London Transport Museum too! I really should take them more often *bad mum*
