Fortune Street park has a little playground. There is a footpath through to it from Whitecross Street which may be the most direct route (turn left out of Barbican entrance on Silk st, go straight across junction with main road, go up Whitecross St then little path between buildings on left some way up).

We lived in North London til recently and I still regularly take my 3 year old to Museum of London. It is great for that age - it doesnt have a specific kids play area but lots of it is interactive and aimed at children so that they have the opportunity to eg try on hats or they have a mock prison door with all the keys and locks etc and there is a bit with a train that they can play with. Plus good running around space and a pizza express nearby good for lunch if you dont want to go to the cafe there.


There is a playground near Barbican and also the Barbican itself is not a bad place to spend some time either outdoors or in - lots of space to run about and lots of north london parents taking advantage!


In terms of getting there - train to Farringdon as above or its only a short bus ride from London Bridge: 21, 141 and get off round Moorgate and walk through


If the weather is good and you have time to kill after, thoroughly recommend jumping on a Thames Clipper boat east or West too

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
