Raising tiny Londoners wouldn’t be half as hilarious without all the family-friendly hangouts, independent kids’ shops and tailored-to-tots activities that we’ve all missed like crazy over these last few miserable months.
Hackney
The capital’s most innovative, aesthetically pleasing, exciting and often downright weird children’s playgrounds.
Get festive af this month with everything from carol concerts to Christmas lights and grottoes to gingerbread metropolises.
Scare yourself silly this Halloween with pumpkin parties, wicked walks, ghoulish gigs and monstrous messy play.
This month’s faves include major new exhibitions at Tate Britain, the RA and the V&A, plus more LDF delights than you’ll possibly have time to see.
I really enjoyed the way the adults were utilised, be it as horses or glorified skateboards for the kids to glide around on.
We ended up staying for 2-3 hours and Babu even asked for extra time at the end – her golden seal of approval.
The shop’s owner is possibly the friendliest person we’ve ever met, and chats away to me with Babu on her lap while I browse.
Let them scare themselves silly with spooky screenings, disturbing dress up, haunted house parties and monstrous messy play.
When the smoke, sirens and society in general become suffocating, get yourself down to one of the capital’s many city farms.
