For lunch, the cafe in the V&A is worth a look.

V&A cafe has 3 rooms, all of which were designed by top 19th century designers, including one by William Morris. They are well worth a look for architectural reasons, and the food is pretty good too.

If the weather's nice, you can also have a drink outside in the quad.

If you're visiting the V&A I can't see why you'd go anywhere else unless you were looking for a real treat (as noted, Bibendum).

Lunch at The Admiral Codrington is always good. Also, dont rule out the Georgian Restaurant at that big Qatari corner shop on Knightsbridge.

had a moment to find the website of Da Marios

on Gloucester Rd, apparently it was Princess Di's favourite pizzeria

it also has a dancefloor downstairs if you fancy making a night of it 🙂

Tom, depends on the time of day, really. There's a restaurant area, which is very kid friendly, but a pricier menu (Very good, though!) and a bar area with really good pub food. Both have always seemed kid friendly to me.

Other good kid friendly places nearby - http://www.thebuildersarmskensington.co.uk/ Pretty solid all rounder, en route towards High St Ken.
The Trafalgar - King's Road. Same group as the above, and always had excellent service in there.
As mentioned above, the Georgian Restaurant at Harrods is a delight. Really good buffet lunch and very much an experience for children, as well as being very child friendly

The [url= http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/visitmuseum_old/eating_and_shopping.aspx ]Deep Blue cafe at the Science Museum[/url] is pretty good with kids, IME. But then I'm a geek and like the Science Museum...

Cheers Captain!

Mogrim, that would have been my first choice, but I've been overuled by the 2 ladies (one of whom is 6...) I'm going with and we are taking a tour of the corridors of power instead. Against my will. Did the tour a few years ago, bored me to tears, despite an interest in the subject matter.
rant over....
