EAT, PLAY, LOVE
URBAN FUN FOR GLOBETROTTING KIDS
Best Place to Eat with Kids
Pizza East
Shoreditch
Large and lively, a bit New York
style, with super friendly waiters and
absolutely delicious pizzas. A great
place for both parents and kids to share
a fun moment and creative food.
Best Place to Take Kids to Play
V&A Museum
South Kensington
For the great art on display, from ancient to
contemporary (currently the David Bowie
exhibit). Cherry on the cake: in the summer
kids can soak their feet, play and splash in
the pool in the central courtyard while
parents enjoy a break over coffee & cookies.
Something I Love in London
Wellcome Collection
Bloomsbury
A museum exploring the connections
between medicine, life and art.
The museum is targeted to kids with
focus on an interactive giant human
body that helps in understanding
anatomy, as well as films and stations
to draw. My kids are fascinated.
Last Question:
What’s your favorite thing
about children’s fashion?
I love fashion when it’s playful, when
it combines comfort with humor,
when it lightens our souls with great
color combinations, when it allows
kids to dress like their games or in
their dreams with elements of fantasy.
It pays to dress kids in clothes that are
special, different and well designed.
