I need ideas for an afternoon out with my 4 year old boy, just me and him. He is a bit of a geek, loves computer games and is quite sensitive in a way. I just can't think where we should go. I owe him some 1:1 time because his older brother gets plenty and I am taking his twin sister to 'my first sleeping beauty' ballet


Any ideas?

Does he like dinosaurs? This looks fun and local...


24. Crystal Palace Park Dinosaurs


I?ll admit it's not what you?d expect to find in a south London park but this was where the Great Exhibition of 1851 (that took place in Hyde Park) moved its huge glass building to, hence the name 'Crystal Palace'. During the park's renovations, Professor Richard Owen created these giant dinosaur sculptures in 1852 based on the best scientific information available but many now giggle at the 'anatomically incorrect' dinosaurs. I wasn't around at the time so can't comment. There's a free dinosaur audio trail to enhance your visit and the park has lots more to see including a playground, cafe, go-karts, a farm, a museum, a boating lake and a sphinx, plus you can see the remains/site of the crystal palace.

Science museum - lots of things to push and illuminate etc.

Downstairs for packed lunch and general mad behaviour.

S Ken tube or maybe a bus that could take in some "sights" en route and kill two birds with one stone?


Changing of the Guard? During the week obviously so might well not work.

We haven't done this (yet) but I met the woman who runs it in Canary Wharf last week and it sounded great. We are thinking of taking our son to do it when the rain has abated slightly (although the organiser did say the walk is partly under cover so not terrible for a rainy day).

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
