Surrey Docks Farm. Honor Oak Park or Peckham Rye to Surrey Quays and then a 15 minute walk or bus. You can feed the animals and it's just by the Thames, so you can go boat spotting too! Closed on Mondays.


Horniman Museum-lots to see there and also outdoor space there too


Peckham Rye Park (adventure playground for the older one too).


Coram Fields (near Russell Square). Very large and safe playground suitable for both boys and also some farm animals.

Dulwich Picture Library and Dulwich Park opposite.


Southbank - if a nice day, fun just to hang around and listen to the various buskers. Always something happening and you can take in Shakespeare Dome; good views; Tate Gallery etc etc


Go on the boat from Tate Modern to other Tate. (or vice versa)


Greenwich - loads to do here from Maritime museum; Cuttysark; etc. YOu can also get on the boat here.


Science Museum; Natural History Museum, V and A - favourites with most children


Hop on the overland (from Brockley or Honour Oak Park) and go to Childrens Museum (Bethnal Green) or Geffrey Museum near Shoreditch - if you go on these websites they will let you know what holiday activities are on - usually involve some sort of workshops (free) most days for children.


Albany Theatre in Deptford for children's plays

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
