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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
