What have you got planned for the six week break? I'm trying to find places to go that don't cost the earth in London, any recommendations?

"What have you got planned for the six week break? I'm trying to find places to go that don't cost the earth in London, any recommendations? "

Depends where you are in London and what your children enjoy doing and their ages.

When mine were younger I'd get a family travel card and visit the museums and carry a pack lunch and eat in one of the many parks. I'd take them to a lido with another packed lunch and ice cream from a van as a treat. Our local cinema had a kids club, adult paid the full price but kids were a £1. Buy your own sweets, popcorn etc...save a fortune. Look online, see what activities your local council is putting on, is there a local fun fair? Check your local library too, they always have something on.

Have fun!

A walk along the south bank from Westminster bridge towards tower bridge is good

There was an article about a website for things to do, think it was something like goseedo.

Hope this helps

South Gloucestershire

how old are the kids and where are you,

british museum, national history & science museum, tate gallery all worth visiting as is the maritime museum in Greenwhich, parks all over worth going to, Crystal palace has the dinosaurs, Dulwich park has a good lake and bikes, also check whats on and time out on the net there are the nottinghaill carnival, brick lane festival, there are bound to be loads of freebies around the olympics, and there are often freebies on the southbank.

If you have a pets at home near you, obviously if you don't live in central London, they do kids clubs through the summer. Get a work book type thing, get to cuddle the fluffy things. Can be fun for younger kids.

South london is particularly horrific with travel and the likes. Crystal Palace is nice. The major mmuseums will be nuts. Olympic torch is in south London currently so that's free and historic. I'm gonna "workfrom home" for olympics so i'd sure as hell find a way to entertain adults.

Thanks for your replies. Both mine are under 5, I'm in south east London so gonna try and avoid anywhere east or central like the plague over the coming weeks! Might try crystal palace park that's not too far. Anyone know any decent seaside towns that's good for kids and not too far by train?

I'm in south east London too. The southern London Bridge to Victoria goes via Clapham Junction. You can get to Southend, Brighton etc but it's a shingle beach, not ideal. Southwark, Lewisham always have something free on for the kids.

southend

Depending on which line you are on, you can use Oyster up to Chafford Hundred (Lakeside shopping centre) or Upminster. So won't get you all the way to Southend.

Have your own parade! Stand on Tottenham Court Road and throw confetti at the traffic jams, cheering when they edge forward a couple of inches.
