I'm trying to arrange a day out in London for a mixed age group of kids. Two, five, 12 and 14. Help!

I think the younger three would be fine but not sure what might appeal to the 14 year old.


So far I'm thinking trampolining but I'm also wondering about the Kensington Memorial Park water feature. Is that way too young for a teenager? I have no idea about this age group!


Other ideas hugely welcome.

Have also heard good things about Science Museum recently (from a friend who took her 8 and 9 year olds...). We went to the Diana Memorial Fountain on one of those hot days back in July...V busy - quite good for our 5 and 3 year olds but probably couldn't have done more than an hour or so (thousands of kids running round, bashing into each other etc etc). But on a nice warm day, you could give it a go for a bit, then wander over to the Serpentine which might suit both age groups. There's a nice little playground beyond the changing rooms (with little knee-high pools for younger ones, kids running round with water shooters etc). Plenty of grass for grown-ups to lie out on. And then a swim in the serpentine with the ducks? Loads of places to eat in Hyde Park too. Good luck!

Are they from out of town so you want to show them the 'sights'? If so, the South Bank is always a good bet for a wander - the water feature is fun for the little ones to splash about in (bring towels and swimsuit) and the older kids might enjoy surreptitiously watching the skateboarders in the skatepark area and watching some of the street performers (we've seen some really good hip-hop dancers there).


If it's just a case of entertaining a wide age-range of kids for the day, how about taking them swimming (somewhere with slides/inflatables), or to Jump Giants in Wandsworth or ice-skating at Streatham? Or Westfields in W12 has Kidzania for the little ones, and the older ones can go off for a wander round the shops or to hang out in one of the cafes.


Good luck!

      I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.

      Gardening tips for February

      By Gardenman · Posted

      Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel

      Excellent Carpenter Recommendation - Greg

      By Laura AC · Posted

      Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
