The Alpine city of Annecy is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in France. Located in the Haute-Savoie region of south-east France, on the borders of Italy and Switzerland, this good-looking town sits at the tip of an aquamarine lake of the same name, Lake Annecy, surrounded by the snowcapped French Alps. It’s one of my favourite places in France and I visit regularly, spending time wandering in the old town of Annecy and swimming or paddling on the lake.

Mexico City is one of my favourite cities in the world. It’s also one of the biggest, which means it’s almost impossible to suggest how to spend one day in Mexico City given how much there is to do. But, having lived in Mexico City for six years – and having advised lots of friends and families on the best things to do – I have managed to whittle down my favourite activities into one 24 hour itinerary.

There are so many things to do in London with kids that an indoor amusement park might not be top of your list of must sees. And yet, sometimes you just need an easy win with kids (particularly on rainy days) and that’s precisely what Babylon Park delivers. Located in the heart of Camden, this indoor amusement park ticks all the right boxes when it comes to keeping kids big and small entertained.

So, as you get ready to enjoy the May half term then here’s my pick of the best restaurants where kids eat free in London.

What’s the best way to see London? Some might say that the best city views are from viewing platforms such as the London Eye or at the free-to-enter Sky Garden. I would argue, however, that the best way to see the city is from the water. There are various boat cruises that sail up and down the Thames river, ferrying passengers along the city’s central waterway past London’s famous landmarks but none of them are quite like Thames Rockets.
