(+ grandparents who sometimes need more entertaining than the toddler!)


I've had a look on the "what's on" thread but aside from the stuff at the horniman (http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,1072017) has anyone got any good tips of local/short bus/train ride way events that would be suitable for a (nearly) 2 year old and family?

Not so local but we have always found that getting the boat from London bridge (short walk from station) either East eg to Greenwich or to North Greenwich and the cable car or West up to the London Eye has gone down a treat even when its cold (but not raining)... its most of an activity in itself and the Thames Clipper commuter boats are pretty frequent and have loos/cafe/seats etc on board. Think its about 5.50 with an Oyster.


Otherwise, I would be interested to hear other suggestions as have a week with my three year old to fill and 8 months pregnant and still fairly new to the area!

Theres some fun stuff happening at the Childrens Museum over Easter - grandparents might enjoy a nostalgic view of toys they played with!

Its an easy overland train to Whitechapel (and then quick bus - 254) to childrens museum

or you can go to shoreditch and walk (10 mins)


There is a little park adjacent to the Childrens museum, as well as benches outside for picnic lunches.

    • 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).
