Paddington was very taken by the art galleries and if your child is interested you might like to take a look at [[Katie and the British Artists by James Mayhew]]. If you would like an introduction to British history then we can recommend [[The Story of Britain by Patrick Dillon and P J Lynch]]. If you're coming from south of the river then you might pass Battersea Dogs Home – and enjoy [[Take Me Home: Tales of Battersea Dogs by Melissa Wareham]].
