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.

    • 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
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks 
    • Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
