Our kids loved the immersive Jungle-themed experience and playground at this kid friendly restaurant we visited in Central London.
Explore and learn all the sights and sounds of the jungle with your little ones while enjoying some delicious food.
The Kid’s Jungle Cave Menu includes a main meal, dessert, and a soft drink. For adults, the restaurant offers a wide range of burgers, meat, fish, and some great vegetarian and vegan options, too! I really enjoyed the Beyond Meat vegan burger.

It is easily accessible on London transport by taking the Piccadilly Line on the Underground to Piccadilly Circus station or Leicester Square station.
From Piccadilly Circus, take a short walk across Leicester Square and the restaurant will be on your left up Shaftesbury Avenue.

Choose from BBQ jackfruit, sweet potato chilli, vegan burgers and hot dogs, and more.
The Bodean’s kids menu includes three courses for under £5.00. I think most kids would be quite happy with a burger or hot dog at Bodean’s, one of the most popular London kid friendly restaurants.
In the Fulham and Clapham locations, kids can eat completely free. This amazing offer is available for one kid’s meal per adult meal. Don’t miss out!

The vegan sushi is also amazing, such as the Red Dragon Roll with red pepper, cucumber, and avocado.
On top of these great vegan options, the restaurant offers a kids menu that includes smaller portions of popular dishes like sushi rolls. My kids loved it!
