160 weekend things to do in London with a kid, all hand-checked.

Little London has 160 hand-checked activities, a personalised "go here today" recommender, a day planner with auto-packing list, a postcode-based "meet in the middle" feature and a child-age progression panel. It was built and is maintained by one person. The site is free. It is the kind of utility that used to require a startup, a series A, and a content team. It now requires one parent and a weekend.

159 of 160 activities on Little London carry a specific, insider parent tip. Not a description. Not a marketing line. The kind of advice you only get from another parent who has stood at the gate, queued for the slide, paid the ticket. "Bring wellies in winter, it gets muddy on the paths." "The east playground is better for toddlers, the west one for older kids." "Drive to Pembroke Lodge for the playground." This is the entire editorial soul of the site, and it is something no automated directory can fake.

Across 160 weekend activities in London for kids 0 to 7: 73 are completely free. 143 are buggy-friendly. Central London holds 62 of them, the south and east 27 each, the west 25, the north 19. 80 are "Easy" effort, 67 are "Half Day", 13 are "Full Day". This is the first time the city's family-friendly footprint has been mapped this way, by area, cost, effort and accessibility, by a single editorial source.

Little London has area guides for Central, North, South, East and West London, plus specialist guides for rainy day, free, half-term and summer. Unlike the SEO-dump pages from Time Out or Day Out With The Kids, each guide is written from a single editorial point of view. The same person who tells you Diana Memorial Playground gets crowded by 11am also tells you which Hackney soft play is worth the train ride.

The Little London day planner lets parents build a 5-stop route, see travel time between each stop, get a packing list that is auto-generated from the activities (it knows to add swim kit if you have added a pool, wellies if you have added a park, snacks for over-2-hour days), export the whole plan to Google Calendar, and share it as an image. It costs nothing. It is built into a static webpage. No login required.

Time Out lists what's on. Day Out With The Kids ranks by SEO. Kidadl is largely abandoned. The category has been hollowed out by content farms and ad placements. Little London replaces it with the thing nobody has done at scale in London: a tightly curated, daily-updated, personally-edited directory written by a parent for parents. No sponsorship slots dressed as recommendations. No fabricated reviews. Just 160 places that one dad has actually been to and what he wishes he had known before he went.
