Thanks for the suggestions, all - ESPECIALLY MOTHERFUCKING KHURRAM.
I should've added - they're coming from right outta town. so really touristy options are cool too.

Hmm. I thought the Trocadero used to be quite good, no?
Looks like shit these days, sadly :(

Kew Gardens maybe? There's a massive butterfly farm down there too, at Syon Park.
London Eye can be a laugh, and Tate Modern's pretty cool to take kids, checking out all the weird stuff 'they' call art. You can have a walk along the south bank too....
- Aye, 'a walk along the south bank' is the only thought of my own I've had so far! Thanks :)detritus

eye's a good idea.
transport museum may skew a bit young for your demographic, but still a good time:

Whenever I read about the kids' activities at the Tate I always get a bit jealous.
There's separate sections for under 13s (Kids Tate) and 14+(Young Tate)...

nairn, who are these people who are putting their children in your care???
- detritus0
Not in my care, exactly - I have family down from Escotlandia and they stupidly asked me what I'd recommend, at which point my mind went utterly blank. My near-decade in the Capital appears to be for nought.
And just what on Earth do you mean?! I'm bloody brilliant with kids, I'll have you know (on account of never having grown up myself...)!
At family meetings, I always end up playing hide'n'seek, tag, or making up stupid games with the kids, rather than boring myself witless listening to the droning of The Adults.My status as a singleton probably makes a lot more sense now...
