Also Selhurst park is worth a trip,they do football back in time tours so you can sample the facilities and smells of the football past

someone mentioned Leeds Castle, its pretty expensive. i'd check on prices of everything to avoid surprises. Tate Modern is great place and free, then walk over too/from St Pauls with Tower Bridge and Gerkin seen off to the east, ticks a few boxes.

Shakespeare's Globe is next door to Tate Modern, virtually, and is a fantastic place to visit. Along the river (5 minutes walk) there's also The Golden Hinde, and keep going to get to Tower Bridge. Cross this and there's The Tower of London - definitely worth a visit.

All this is walking distance from London Bridge station.

Also, what about the "Brighton Eye"?

Possibly not good for someone with Aspergers?

There's also a replica of the Bayeux Tapestry at Reading, plus Leeds Castle, Hampton Court, Windsor castle, Arundel castle, the Golden Hinde

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Drusillas kids zoo near Alfriston - but you need your own transport.

That and lots of other places, e.g. Brighton Sea Life Centre, listed at Family days out in East Sussex website:

He'll love it if it snows, I'm guessing you don't get much of the white stuff in Geelong!

Paradise Park in Newhaven has a really good Dinosaur walk through! It might not be the same quality as walking with dinosaurs in London but to fill some time locally, very good for the young ones!

 

[GreersElbow]

London aquarium? If he loves animals, that'll be an awesome place to visit for the lad.

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

London zoo, Trafalgar Square, boat trip on Thames ( good value as you can just get the clipper for about £6. )

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Always the London Duck Tours, basically an amphibious tour of London. It's good fun too although if the weather is bad then it probably isn't a good idea !!!

It depends on what they like really, always a tour of the Amex too, they are quite good and last a while.

Could show him the sunset from Devils Dyke

In Brighton the little toy museum underneath the station.

They're very good, but you have to book at least a day ahead - you can't just turn up (as we learned to our cost!)

Loves dinosaurs and most animals, very interested in the history of England, i think the age of everything is going to blow his mind!

Nothing too gory or scary.

Fossil hunting on the Dorset coast,loads of Ammonites all there for the taking follow it up with a day at Monkey World and the Tank Museum next door.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

In Brighton? Sea Life Centre! Just outside Brighton? Drusillas!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Vote for Drusillas and Bodium castle here. If venturing to Hastings while at Bodium, would avoid Smugglers Adventure and whatever Sealife centre Hastings is now called as first is scary-ish for some and later is very poor. Battle while over this way is nice but not much to do. Hastings Old Town would be great for both parents and an enjoyable half hour wander, window shop, then coffee out. Her indoors would love it and he'd last the hour + there I'd think compared to anywhere else.

Battle has an oldie worldie museum that's OK (Yesterday's World) opposite the abbey but probably not interactive enough to hold his interest tbh.

Most other things this way would be quite outdoorsy and not the right time of year! Eastbourne can't think of much tbh

Depends on the day as I turned up on the day and got a tour !! Did have to wait a couple of hours so did something else in the meantime.
