Hi folks, I need to be out of the house from 9-6 tomorrow. I'm pregnant and not loving the heat and will have a 22 mo toddler in tow...suggestions please on how we can fill our day avoiding as much sun and crowds as possible! (Have car, will travel!)have ruled out south bank, the big museums etc due to school holiday crowds. I'm at a loss as to where we can go all day but keep my son entertained...suggestions appreciated!!

I was at the Horniman yesterday and it was nice and breezy and shady in the gardens. Ground floor of the museum a little stuffy but downstairs very cool, especially the music room and aquarium.


or, drive down to Eynsford - there's a ruined castle (free), a ford to paddle in (next to a rather overly done up pub), and the roman villa just down the road at Lullingstone.

Across the road from the Horniman is a short walk to Sydenham Hill Woods, which is a lovely cool cathedral of green t stroll through.


With a 22 month old in tow I would just include it as part of the day - maybe a good spot for enjoying butterflies and pretty wildflowers and birdsong - then a nap. (There aren't any caf?s etc there.)

    • You're sounding a bit Reform there aren't you @malumbu Because this time four years ago he, and his party, were calling on voters to do the polar opposite. Actually, I would probably be quite fun on Question Time - you know those sanguine pragmatists who treat all politicians the same and aren't blinded by their own ideology and actually insist on proper answers - one of those pesky floating voters who actually nearly always determine the outcome of elections. @CPR Dave you pointedly show how far-left parties always kill themselves from within - because the rag-tag collection of various fringe groups always leads to one thing - infighting. We all know it won't end well for the Greens.    
    • Mal. Yours is a very idealistic portrait of Margaret Thatcher. That’s not the case and I standby what I’ve written.    
    • I'm not convinced that BoE calculator tackles house prices. I think it's only goods and services - e.g. I think 465k in 1997 would buy you the same amount of bananas as £929k would now. but it can't include house prices. Or bitcoins or shares or other investments.
    • It's really not that complex.  There are some long standing Green Party supporters whose primary concern is the environment (who deplore hatred).  There are some left leaning centrists who are disappointed with the Labour party's performance in government who are looking for an alternative socialist party to vote for.  And there are some rabid antisemites who used to get away with that in Labour but found themselves homeless after the EHCR decided  Labour was guilty of unlawful discrimination. It's pretty simple actually.
