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.

    • Will she stay or will she go now? If she goes there will be trouble  If she stays it will be double  So come on Kier let us know know  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/19/rachel-reeves-is-dragging-the-labour-party-down-starmer-uk/
    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.
