Families
At The Ampersand, we understand that travelling with children in London can sometimes be challenging. That is why we have organised a range of family-oriented services to make your time with us as simple and stress-free as possible.
Family Friendly Rooms
Most of our Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Studios and Suites can accommodate either an additional cot or a fold-away bed (for children up to 12 years old) at no extra charge. Many of our rooms can interconnect for additional space.
Our Suites feature convenient kitchenettes, fitted with a microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge.
On request, we are pleased to provide child-size bathrobes and slippers, children’s toiletries, and fun activity packs. All rooms include complimentary soft drinks, tea and coffee.
Please note: For safety and comfort, we are only able to install either a cot or a fold-away bed in each room, not both. Thank you for your understanding.
Family Experiences
Exploring London is an exciting adventure for families, and our prime South Kensington location makes it even easier. Within walking distance of the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Kensington Gardens, the Princess Diana Memorial Playground and Hyde Park, we are perfectly placed for days filled with discovery and fun.
We also have a tube station right outside if you want to explore further afield. Our reception team is at your disposal to assist with booking any family activities in London, as well as organising babysitting services.
Kids Afternoon Tea - The Science
Spoil your little ones to the kid-friendly version of our Science Afternoon Tea. Our inventive menu features dinosaur biscuits and a rocket cheese straw.
Our Kids’ Sci-Fi Tea is designed to suit all the fussy eaters out there, while still pushing the boundaries of culinary ingenuity.
You can sample jellies served in petri dishes, bite the heads off chocolate spacemen and crunch through not-so-ancient edible fossils. Food is served on a rocket-shaped stand, with dry ice shooting out the bottom. Your children will leave feeling one step closer to the stars, and as full as a T-rex after a dinner of Triceratops.
We also offer a Kids menu in Apero and all children aged under four receive complimentary continental buffet breakfast.
Kids Afternoon Tea - The Jurassic
Spoil your little ones to the children’s version of our Jurassic Afternoon Tea. Our inventive menu features dinosaur biscuits and a dinosaur cheese claw.
Our Kids’ Jurassic is designed to suit all the fussy eaters out there, while still pushing the boundaries of culinary ingenuity.
Food is served on a dinosaur-shaped stand, with dry ice shooting out of the top. Your children will leave feeling as full as a T-rex after a dinner of Triceratops.
The Games Room
The Games Room is a lively extension of The Ampersand’s playful, quirky style, designed as a place for families to spend time together and unwind. Kingfisher-blue bookshelves line the walls, filled with curiosities, books, and an assortment of games that invite hours of entertainment.
This light-hearted space is ideal for children and adults alike, whether you are settling in for a board game, browsing through the books, or simply relaxing in a comfortable and welcoming setting. For those who enjoy a little friendly competition, there is a full-size ping pong table, providing endless fun for both younger guests and grown-ups.
With its mix of charm, colour and comfort, the Games Room is a unique hideaway where families can gather, play, and create lasting memories during their stay.
Please note that the Games Room may be unavailable due to private hire.
