We are doing a house swap with a family from Hungary who have 3 children aged between 8 and 16. I am writing them a guide to the local area with some family-friendly activities both locally and in London generally. Our son is much younger so I'm worried my ideas may be a bit too young for the older kids. If anyone has any tips for things to do with older children I'd be really grateful for any ideas!

Great idea as we are doing the same with a family with similar aged children!


All I could think of was the skate park in Peckham Rye park and maybe the adventure playground there? The cinema in Peckham near Peckham Rye station?


I started to wonder what pre-teens/teenagers do on weekends in East Dulwich actually as I realised I don't often see many of them around?!

Hi


for the older kid/s I would recommend putting some info in about markets they can wander around... Possible the whole family might enjoy but I know my teenaged sister's favourite thing about coming to visit us in London is wandering around markets like Spitalfields, Brick Lane, Portobello etc. Greenwich might be a good one too.

The Southbank also springs to mind, especially over the summer with so much going on.


Enjoy your swap- sounds like a great idea!

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
