Default London Miniature Train Rides?

Hi,

Are there any miniature train rides in London or within 50 miles of the
city? Miniature as in mini steamer, or the kind you would ride at a
carnival or a zoo. Fun for little kids but cramped and uncomfortable
(yet fun!) for adults.

Thanks,

You could try the Umfolozi (pseudo African name) Railway at Whipsnade
Zoo. It is 3' 6" gauge, as many mainline railways in Africa are, and
it has mainline "feel". You could see the elephants, hippos, etc while
you are about it. A good day out!
