I have coming to stay for a week and I am looking for ideas for day trips out/activities. Can anyone help please. They love animals and we have already been to London Zoo and Crystal Palace park...Thank you

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.

If you're up for driving into Kent, Eagle Heights is always popular with my animal-lovers. Birds or prey, cheetahs and various reptiles.

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

Should have added - the "Whats on" thread on this forum also gives ideas and listings on what is happening locally......
