By area

Eight London areas. One editorial hand.

Each area page is written from a single point of view, by the same parent. The Central guide knows which museum has the buggy lift. The North guide knows which Hackney soft play is worth the train.

Central
Museums, royal parks, lemur feedings.

From Diana Playground to the Science Museum basement: the densest cluster of weekend wins, if you time the queues right.

62 activities →
North
Heaths, hills and a city farm.

Hampstead, Highgate, Crouch End and Camden. Where the soft plays are honest and the parks have proper hills.

19 activities →
South
Battersea, Brixton, Dulwich, Greenwich.

The Children's Zoo, the splash pads, the picture galleries. The south does a great free morning.

27 activities →
East
Olympic Park, city farms, V&A East.

Bethnal Green to Hackney Wick. Where the playgrounds are newest and a half-day trip can feel like a weekend.

27 activities →
West
Holland Park, Chiswick, Richmond's reach.

Peacocks, Japanese gardens, riverside playgrounds. The polished end of London family life.

25 activities →
Battersea
The neighbourhood guide.

Park, zoo, river path, the new Power Station. A full weekend in one postcode.

Guide →
Dulwich
The picture gallery and the park.

The oldest public art gallery in England, a giant park, and the best soft play in SE21.

Guide →
Brixton
Markets, playgrounds, prince of pops.

Brockwell Lido in summer. The Ritzy on a rainy Sunday morning. Properly local.
