WITH a blossom-filled backdrop for outdoor adventures and the constant promise of chocolate eggs and bunnies, London has a wealth of activities for families to enjoy over Easter: some are free, most have a flexible age range and all are potent antidotes to sitting at home watching television. From canal cruising to experiencing Shakespeare for the very first time, or being part of a wild goose chase, the capital has youngsters covered this April.
Sail on London’s waterways
GoBoat offers self-drive vessels for up to eight people with trips from jetties at Paddington, Canary Wharf and Kingston. Available seven days a week from tomorrow, each boat costs from £80 an hour. Depending on the route, boaters can discover Little Venice, wave at the monkeys in London Zoo, marvel at City skyscrapers or be wowed by Hampton Court Palace. Bring a picnic — the table in the middle of every boat is there for good reason.
