Fun things to do with the family in London this Easter

With a long weekend ahead of us, it is the perfect time to get together with family and have a fun day or two out. London has plenty of options when it comes to family entertainment and we thought it'd be a good idea to highlight some of the experiences you can have this weekend. From theatre shows to nature walks, check out the list below.

The Lion King has been on the West End and it's no surprise given how amazing the choreography is. There are plenty of people who have seen this show more than once as it takes the songs from the classic Disney movie and delivers them in their most dramatic and hilarious proportions.
