Another great day out is Coolings nature trail near Knockholt (about 20-25 mins the far side of Bromley). It's a ?3 entry since January, it's at the back of a garden centre and the nature trail has wallabies, pigs, goats, ducks and geese. Has lots of goodies for children to play with, tepees, long line of trees shaped into a tunnel, wishing log, plus back at the garden centre there are some Wendy houses on display which they let children play in, little go kart track and motorized diggers. Cafe is also very nice and not badly priced or they have a picnic area outside if you want to bring a picnic. Overall a really fab few hours, we are normally there for at least 4 hours.
Just did the British Museum for the first time in a while. Indoor Picnic under the dome great in this weather then Activity pack (free with deposit) which our 6 and 4 year old loved...then scared them with the mummies! Good Sunday day as parking reasonebly easy in streets around and free on Sundays (or 176 or 68 from SE24/SE5 and walk).

Some wonderful ideas for days out!


On houseoflego's recommendation above, we went to the London Transport Museum on Saturday. Train from PR to LB and then another train from LB to Charing Cross and walked to Covent Garden from there. Our toddler loved the trip on the train and adored the museum - very toddler friendly. Now we have tickets that are valid for 12 months I'm sure we'll be going again very soon (?13 for adults / free for under 16s).


Another recommendation for a more local activity (which we did on Sunday) would be for a walk / explore around Nunhead Cemetery followed by coffee and cakes in the wonderful new family friendly cafe - The Dish & The Spoon - on Cheltenham Road (http://www.thedishandthespoon.co.uk/).

Last year we had merlin passes and got discounts to the chessington hotel visit that gives you early entry to the theme park. The hotel is ok - dining room was dire but nice space behind and then the pre-opening entry to the theme park feels really privileged. We had about 3 rides on the bumper cars before it got busy

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
