The historic central London area known as Mayfair has a lot to offer the tourist, with plenty of sites of historic and cultural interest. Here are some of the top tourist attractions in the area. If you are considering a trip to London, you can find some exceptional deals on Millennium hotels in Mayfair at milleniumhotels.co.uk.

Animals At War Memorial

Animals are all too often the forgotten casualties of war, a situation that this moving tribute to the millions of animals who have been killed in war seeks to address. It was unveiled in November 2004, and features life size bronzes of two pack mules, a horse and a dog walking through a curved Portland stone wall. The wall itself displays relief images of all the animals that have served in war, from elephants to glow worms. It was designed by David Backhouse and paid for by voluntary donations. Whether you love animals, sculpture, or both, you cannot fail to be impressed by this fine monument.

Burlington Arcade

As far as shopping arcades go, Burlington Arcade is right up there with the best of them, and it is fair to say that it is the most impressive of its type in London. It stretches all the way from Bond Street and Saville Row to Piccadilly, and is full of shops selling jewellery and other fancy items. However, it is the stunning architecture of the building, which was designed by Samuel Ware in 1818 that is the real star of the show here.

50 Berkeley Square

For a long time now, 50 Berkeley Square has been considered the most haunted house in London. Prime Minister George Canning died in this house in 1827, and there have been numerous, well documented sightings of ghosts in the house, including a little girl, a young woman, and a grotesque man with a gaping mouth. These days, the spooks are co-habiting with the antiquarian and rare booksellers, Maggs Bros.

Allies

This famous monument, which is situated in the pedestrian area that divides New Bond Street and Old Bond Street, is a life size statue of Sir Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt having a conversation on a park bench. It was sculpted by American artist Lawrence Holofcener as a tribute to the bond shared by the British Prime Minister and the American President during World War Two. As well as being interesting to look at, it also presents an irresistible photo opportunity for the tourist.

Make Your Own In-flight Entertainment

Even with the on board films and games now available with most carriers, a long flight can get pretty boring, especially for kids. It can be hard to keep them amused whilst not annoying your fellow travelers. But there are some activities that really work, particularly if your group is sitting in a row. Let’s take a look at a few of them…

A drawing competition is a great way to keep yourself and the kids amused. Decide on a theme – monsters or aliens or something equally fanciful to get their creative juices flowing. A good way to make it a shared experience is by folding some paper into three equal sections (or four if there are four of you) and having one person draw a head in the top section. Fold it down so the next person can’t see it, then have them draw the midriff, before folding it down to pass onto the next person, who draws the legs (and feet if there are four of you!). Now unfold the meisterwork and give the creature a name.

Similar to Chinese Whispers (but, ironically, much quieter) Invisible Ink is a really fun game to while away an hour of a flight. If you’re in a window row, get the player next to the window to think of a word. The person in the middle must then hold out their arm while Player 1 ‘writes’ the word using their finger. Player 2 then repeats this step on the arm of the person in the aisle seat. Carry this on until you’ve been round all the members of your party, until the last person says the word they think it is. Be prepared for some amusing misunderstandings.

Pick a timekeeper with a watch. The timekeeper then says a letter of the alphabet, and each player must write down as many words that begin with that letter as possible in one minute. The winner is the person with the most legitimate – and accurately spelt! – words. After that, each player must try to write a sentence including as many of the words on the list as possible. Again, give them a minute to do this. A great way to have fun and teach your kids new words at the same time.

If you’re still looking for a family holiday for this year or next, try Thomas Cook, who have a number of family vacation deals and cheap package holidays on their website. Book a trip, and bear in mind some of the fun activities above if the kids start to get restless on the flight. And if they’re still bored, there’s always thumb wars…
