No car. Fun days out in London with young kids? IDEAS??

[curiousgeorge11]

Hi,

Sorry to gatecrash this thread, but I am currently considering a trip to London zoo via tube. Does anyone know if this is possible with a buggy (Step-free) at London Bridge and Baker St? Thanks, and sorry Dibden!

We had a fun day out today - cable car from Royal Victoria to the O2, a play in the fountains there followed by lunch, then a boat to London Bridge. My parents are visiting from NZ and it made for a relatively inexpensive way to see London from a different perspective. Kids (8.5, 7 and 3.5) loved it.

I'm sure it's possible, but have a look here for more details:

Godstone Farm isn't far out of London and has everything for young toddlers/children.

Godstone Farm is great - also, check out the National Trust - there are some great places in London as well as few which should be easily accessible by train. Box Hill is amazing.

Godstone Farm and Box hill both lovely, for sure, but a little tricky (if not impossible?) without a car...

For children who can cycle there's a really lovely, not too taxing, cycle ride from Tonbridge to Penshurst (lovely castle / stately home with FABULOUS play area and gardens). You can get to Tonbridge by train from West Dulwich (one easy change). The cycling is pretty much ALL off road and there's also an open air swimming-pool at Tonbridge.
