London is not short of great theme parks, with a wide variety of fantastic venues right on your doorstep while staying in the city. Offering plenty to see and do within easy reach of your hotel, the following selection should help you plan a fun-filled adventure on your next trip!
London Dungeon
During your next stay at the Montcalm London, a visit to the London Dungeon provides a chilling journey into ancient London. Guiding visitors through almost 1000 years of events from London’s past, the dungeon includes everything from recreations of medieval torture chambers to opportunities for learning more about Jack the Ripper.
The venue includes two rides, great special events and a host of talented actors performing key scenes from the more gruesome side of the city. Here you can discover what it would have been like to attend a Victorian séance, or enjoy ‘The Tyrant’ boat ride with a medieval King. A trip can be completed within about 90 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to try out some more of the theme parks from the list!
KidZania
Westfield’s KidZania has created a child-size city for younger visitors staying with us at our Mayfair hotels in London to enjoy, and it includes a wide range of different activities as well as a space for parents to relax and unwind while the kids play.
Attractions on offer include a fire station, theatre and bank where children can really unleash their imaginations, and try their hand at over 60 different professions. The theme park is not only designed for active play, but also improves vital life skills like teamwork.
Warner Bros Studio Tour: Harry Potter
Harry Potter is a global phenomenon, with the books by JK Rowling and film adaptations developing a following like no other. The Warner Brothers Studio Tour allows visitors of all ages to get behind the scenes and enrol at Hogwarts for the day, learning more about all the props, costumes and sets which helped make the films what they are. With expert tour guides (including plenty who worked on the original films), a trip here while staying at our spa hotels in London provides both a fun-packed day out and a way to engage with a true British classic.
Chessington World of Adventures
Whatever kind of action-packed adventures you’re looking for, Chessington World of Adventures is sure to impress! With more than 40 rides, including many designed specifically for younger children, the on-site Chessington Zoo also has a zoo filled with creatures such as penguins, lions, tigers and giraffes.
Chessington includes 10 specially-themed lands, each offering something very special to visitors. Whether you’re travelling with younger children or taking teenagers on a trip you know they’ll enjoy, this is a great way to accomplish both all in one place, and represents one of the most impressive theme parks within easy reach of your London hotel.
