The Horniman and Southbank/Royal Festival Hall are our standbys for rainy weekends and think they'll be open with things on over the Easter weekend. Tate Modern too and any of the museums up town. Beckenham Spa seems to be open Good Friday at least - can't see anything about the Sunday.


Not so good on things out of town as hubby hates the drive out of London! Thankfully at 4 & 21 months, it doesn't take too much to keep my two entertained.

Nat History? - tube from Victoria to Sth Ken

Mudchute Farm - a trek but would give thema trip also on the DLR which can be fun for little ones.

Boat on Thames - not great if raining but different

Greenwich Meridian adn Observatory - interestig for parents at least! local cafe rouge etc for children...

Horniman

Gambado - a trek again to Chelsea though you coudl take the train to Clapham Junction then bus?

My son loves the Transport for London museum in Covent Garden. There is a little play area in the downstairs level and it has a little cafe next to a play train set (by cafe I mean juice boxes and sandwiches with a few tables and chairs). There is a nice regular cafe upstairs but it doesn't have a play area, and lots of tourists. You can easily kill a couple of hours there.


And be warned, you have to exit through an excellent gift shop with LOADS of toy vehicles.

Should be fine, I think that's about the age my son was when we first took him. If he loves trains and buses he'll LOVE this!

We went to the Transport Museum this Sunday with our 3.5 and a 1.5 year olds, and they both LOVED it. Almost as much as I did (I think I have always had a secret desire to drive a big red bus). Just brilliant for kids as they can run about and go in everything, and its not too massive. Be warned its ?10 per adult though (?8 concessions), although children are free.


Just round the corner from the 176 bus.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
