8 rainy day activities for kids in London

Number 2: Harry Potter Studios

Harry Potter Studios

This is only a short trip out of the centre of London to Watford – and buses are run from most of the major train stations.  This is a magical day trip – forgive the pun – as you are transported behind the scenes of all the films.  There are costumes, animatronics, scale models – as well as the chance to drink butter beer and see inside the famous Hogwarts Express.
