We have an almost 3 & an almost 1 year old and although we’ve lived in London before, it was pre our boys’ arrival so we’re still learning the best spots.

Archbishop’s Park must rate a mention as well as Kennington Park with its cafe and playground (we’re in Kennington/ Walworth area).

Cheers

Thank you so much for all these suggestions! Yet again another thing I had no idea about 🙂 I will investigate buses as I know what you mean about the station; must have been a nightmare with two. Are you in south London?

Ahh brilliant tip – thank you so much! That sounds great (especially as it’s indoors). I had no idea there was anything like this, I presumed it was all for older children / adults.

Lovely little zoo with lots & lots of small animals (monkeys, birds, rodents, lizards…) and a few medium sized ones, interspersed with great childrens’ play equipment. It’s compact enough to be easy to get around, big enough to cope well with the crowds.

One word of warning. Battersea Park station is a complete and utter nightmare with a buggy – or worse yet, with a toddler on foot and a baby in the buggy, as I was foolish enough to attempt on my own one time. The stairs are incredibly steep and narrow, the platform is narrow too. So best to get there another way – Clapham Junction is a longish walk or a short hop on the bus, and there’s loads of car parking if driving’s an option.

If you go to Kew with a little one, the Climbers & Creepers area is a must. There’s a huge indoor play area with lots of nice sensory stuff even a 1 year old can enjoy, so it’s a good day out even in the rain.

Took my boys (just turned 2, and 4-and-a-bit) yesterday for the umpteenth time, they always love it.

Its galleries are all quite small, well suited to short attention spans, the aquarium is great for all ages as is the interactive room in the musical instruments gallery (lots of things to bash). The natural history room there is nice, my 2yo had a lot of fun naming all the animals, there are a few interactive displays that the older boy enjoys, and the huge walrus in the middle of the room is a hit with both.
