Family London

I think the most obvious day trip location for a family group would be Warwick Castle. This will appeal to all ages, combining history, architecture, gardens plus actors in costume and wax figures complete with the sounds and smells of various periods of English History, and as a castle it is far more complete than Leeds which lost its fortifications centuries ago and now feels more like a stately home than a fortress. Warwick has more life in it than Windsor, which suffers from being emotionless and detatched as many Royal Palaces can be. I wouldn't dismiss either Leeds Castle or Windsor as they are both wonderful in different ways but for a large group of varying ages I would try and combine Stratford on Avon with Warwick Castle. Are you hiring a minibus, or using public transport? There may be other suggestions that might be useful but it will depend on your mode of transport. source

The Lord Mayor only governs the "City of London" proper -- basically, the financial district. The Mayor of London governs all of Greater London. source

It's taking a while for even the front line medical staff, patients and high risk groups to get it. It's being rolled out gradually across the trust I work in, but it's going to take a while. I have not seen any information about it being made available privately anywhere at this stage. However, wherever there is money to be made, services are offered, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if you either can, or soon will, be able to get it at a private clinic. source

Another vote for Richmond - it has the feel of a village about it and is easy to get into London. As the others said it has all the criteria you want- the river, a green, restaurants and a beautiful park. source

I'll be in London of almost three weeks and I know that I'll crave Italian food at some point. Does anyone have any suggestions for a really great Italian restaurant - not pizza or "Italian-American," but elegant Italian food similar to what can be found in Milan or Rome? source
