Appalling weather? Kids bouncing off the walls of your tiny London flat? Fear not, there is hope in the shape of the capital’s myriad indoor playgrounds, from the most stylish play cafes and museum children’s galleries to the least awful soft-play centres we can think of (and, good God, there are some dreadful ones).
Museum
This month, immerse yourself in a magical land of paper, check out the latest in experimental game design and watch a show about poo.
This month, go on a journey through Disney’s 100-year history, create your own soft sculptures and crawl inside a giant head.
This month, get lost in a technicolour labyrinth in Clapham, discover Frieze Sculpture in Regent’s Park and be dazzled by Sara Shakeel’s crystal installation in North Greenwich.
This month, enjoy family festivals and open-ended play aplenty, plus the long-awaited return of the Young V&A… and loads of really weird ice cream.
This month, adventure around Covent Garden with Peter Rabbit and friends, explore the Earth with David Attenborough, and meet one of the largest dinosaurs to ever have lived.
Get festive this December with cosy carols, wintry crafts, seasonal theatre and not one, not two, but FIVE cities made out of gingerbread.
This month, get felt up by some body-part art, climb inside some hand-knitted art and enter a haunted house filled with art.
Loads of our favourites return this month, from art in the park at Frieze Sculpture to immersive fun at Colourscape, plus hypnotic installations at London Design Festival.
This month’s thrifty fun includes riding a ferris wheel at Somerset House, getting creative in Trafalgar Square, and heading to the beach without leaving the M25.
