London Sightseeing: Top Family Tours And Attractions - My Family Travels
They are few and far between, but you can still spot the iconic red phone booths.

From the roof of a red doubledecker bus or the galleries of a great museums, an organized tour can help you make the most of your London family vacation.  This is especially true during 2012, the summer of the London Olympics, when knowing where to get out of town for the day may be your family’s best sightseeing option.
