London Calling
The Singapore Women\'s Weekly|November 2016

Whether you’re travelling for business or with the kids at year end, these are must-dos on your next trip to the beautiful city.

London Calling

1. The Shard

On a clear day, a trip up to the 309.6-m Shard is a must-do. Ascend to the 68th floor of the tallest building in the UK, then climb to the 69th and 72nd to soak in the spectacular 360-degree view of the city. Have fun with the kids spotting the London Eye in the west, the Tower Of London to the north, and Canary Wharf to the east. 

2. Shrek’s Adventure

If you have preschoolers and kids in the lower primary, you’ve got to add this to your itinerary. Join Donkey as you hop onto the Dream Works tour bus that’ll take you on a 75-minute multi-sensory ride through 10 live shows. Timid under-threes may fear witches they’ll meet along the way. And unless hubby’s gifted with a good sense of humour, he best have a coffee while you take the kids through.
