Hi,


I have a 9 month old crawling baby and this week have volunteered (possibly stupidly) to look after my half brother and sister who are 11 and 6 on Wednesday and Thursday. A bit nervous about how to keep them all entertained over the 48 hours! Any wise words from those with older kids much appreciated? Where would be a good place to head to - we have a car so could drive a bit out of London?


Thanks x

How about some time in the skateboard park & Adventure playground on Peckham Rye. BMX bike riding Brockwell park or Burgess park. Track cycling or mountain biking at the Herne Hill Velodrome. Swimming at Deptford wavelength swimming pool which has a couple of flumes. Visit to the Southbank, always plenty going on.

Your combo of kids are approx same age as my 3 & one London day out that seems to suit all

Of them is 176 bus to Waterloo then a walk along southbank where there is plenty to see for all of them, lunch in a wagamama or similar near Foyles books & a look at what's on in the royal festival

Hall, gallery space etc.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
    • Highly recommend landscape gardener Jasper Davis. Jasper designed and built me a bespoke summer house.  He also transformed my garden including natural paving/sleepers and planting. Can't recommend him enough.IMG_9568.HEIC Contact Jasper on 07966 251778
    • Is anyone  replacing their clip on buggy parasol?  Looking for a foster mum friend please
    • I don't think so, sadly. The Zenoria Street indoor market failed to take off and generally speaking traders at Christmas Fairs and Farmers Markets are reporting that it isn't worth their while now. If you go to North Cross Road, the vast majority of visitors are only buying the street food! It was the same when I went to the Horniman Sunday market and second hand market yesterday. With the lack of footfall I couldn't understand how any of the traders could be making any money.
