Help needed please!


My sister and her two children are visiting from out of town for the weekend - I don't have children and so I'm not very with it on great activities out locally.

I'm looking for something to do with them on Friday, preferably locally as we are going into town Sat and Sun. They are aged 10 and 11 - one girl and one boy. We are in Peckham - but Camberwell, Dulwich even out to Brixton all good! Doesn't need to be free.


We already have the crazy golf at the Horniman booked for Saturday morning.

This time last year we did a chocolate bar making workshop at the museum of Chocolate in Brixton - which I am still earning good Auntie-points for :-)

Thanks in advance

My sisters kids loved hms Belfast at london bridge . I it's as local as Brixton I suppose . Difficult age to pitch things to though . Too young for some things and two old for others ! Always found the most exciting things for visitors is going out in that there london

Thanks! Funnily enough somebody suggested a treasure hunt that includes HMS Belfast so I think that might work.


You re so right - it seems a funny age- it was so much easier when they were 5 and a trip to Peckham Rye was amazing :)

My suggestion is make the most of london .. go to hms belfast then get a clipper to Greenwich (.. get on the back of the boat) then mess around in greenwich for a bit then two buses home x I used to be the coolest uncle.. now they are 18 and 15 they think I'm a bit dull so make the most of it

10-11 is tricky... especially if you really want to stay local! Recumbent bikes in Dulwich park? Cinema? Pedalos in Crystal Palace? The swimming pool in Deptford is good for kids, they have wave machine and water slides. Or maybe the Brockwell Lido (but might be rammed this wknd). Go-karts in Bermondsey?


If willing to go further afield (or maybe for another time), check out Clip n Climb.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
