London is probably the best city in the world in terms of activities for families and children including lots of free activities and events. We list here lots of initiatives that we believe London Mums and their children from babies to teenagers would enjoy especially at the most entertaining places such as the Science Museum, The V&A, Kew Gardens, Kensington Palace, Hyde Park, Richmond Park, Greenwich, West End shows, the London Eye, the London Aquarium, Kingston upon Thames, Chelsea, SouthBank and so much more.

Each workshop runs for 90 minutes, giving you plenty of time to get those creative juices flowing after the school run!
Led by singer-songwriter and BRIT School graduate Scarlet Billham (aka Hedara, with over 9 million streams and support from BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM), this monthly songwriting course is a fun, welcoming space for adults aged 18+ to learn, experiment and play. You don’t need to know how to read music – just bring your enthusiasm. If you can sing or play an instrument, even better!
Expect hands-on exercises, insider tips from the music industry, and the chance to share your work in a supportive, friendly environment. Think of it as a musical book club – with the bonus of potentially writing your own chart-topper!
Each session is designed to build your confidence and skills over time, but you’re more than welcome to drop in whenever life allows.
Mum’s tip: Dive In members can snag free spots on this course – but be quick, as only 20% of places are reserved for this scheme. Click here to see if you’re eligible!
So whether you’re a busy parent looking for a creative outlet or someone returning to a long-lost musical dream, this could be your new favourite monthly ritual.
? Find your voice, make new friends, and perhaps even pen the next big hit – all at the heart of Hammersmith.
