stuff for tourists with kids
natural history museum
London aquarium
kew gardens
tower of London

they are good things to do, but you will be surrounded by plebby tourists. if you want to avoid gawping provincials, try the horniman museum or the Chelsea physic garden, that sort of alternative. otherwise suck up the tourists: they are there because those things are pretty iconic for kids to see. also, you get to see wild parrots at kew.

That Chelsea place looks good.

it's really beautiful, and they do dinner there in the evenings, which is stunning. a well-kept secret.
although the kids might find it boring, depending on their ages. In all honesty, you might be better taking them to regents park for a run-around and then to the zoo, if they are under 10.
