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.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
