Check out cute pop-ups, sprog-friendly theatre, inspiring exhibitions and interesting activities for you and your mini.

What?: The Japanese House: Architecture and Life After 1945 is an ambitious interactive exhibition exploring some of the fascinating examples of experimental domestic architecture constructed in Japan in the wake of the Second World War, and the intrinsic link between home and self in Japanese culture
What?: For one weekend only, silly-cute online boutique Greenberry Kids set up shop in Hampstead’s adorable Maison Auguste. The result? A cacophony of enraptured coos and squees as visitors lingered over rails filled with Monbebe bunny bonnet-and-babygrow sets complete with ears and fluffy tails
What?: Picturesque Victorian museum renowned for its internationally important collection of taxidermy and anthropological objects, its vast assortment of weird and wonderful musical instruments, and its super-chilled aquarium
