I have an almost 5 year old boy and 2 year old dtr and am wondering what days/trips out we could do over the summer. The holidays are suddenly starting to look very long and I'm worried I will struggle to keep both kiddies entertained. Planning on booking my boy into Dulwich Hamlets holiday club for a few alternate weeks but really want to have some nice days out with both kids. We can travel by car or public transport but am at a loss as to what's doable so would really appreciate any tips from Forumites as to what is out there.


Thanks in advance!

There is so much on in London, a good place to start is with all the museums as they run programmes, the V and A have quite a bit on, as well as locally the Horniman.

Southbank usually does festivals etc

You can also go to ChildrenscMuseum in Bethnal Green, easy by overland, as well as Jeffrye Museum. (All have a childrens programme)

Dulwich Picture Gallery and park a good combo.

Artastic, who advertise on here do art days at Jags

dish and spoon (visit there facebook page) hold regular stuff including crafty cooks for pop in sessions


Good option to pick up the free families magazine as well as some of the local newspapers who will also advertise.


The what's on thread on this forum also advertises what is happening regularly.

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
