London Mums’ daddy reporter Rupert H, girl dad x2 (including brand-new Aurora, who sat this one out), sent us this fun review.Â
At home: a beautiful but entirely sleep-averse newborn named Aurora, a mountain of muslins, and a partner who deserves a medal. So when the chance came to take my older daughter Gaia and her best friend to Chessington’s brand-new World of PAW Patrol, I grabbed…

Space Explorers: The International Space Station Experience has finally made its European debut in Camden, and after months of hearing about its global success I could not wait to take my family along. It is, quite simply, the most immersive virtual reality adventure I have ever tried. From the moment I pulled on the lightweight headset, the basement venue dissolved and I was no longer standing on…

Mundo Pixar review: our family of young reporters stepped inside the magic (and only one got scared)
When I heard about the Mundo Pixar Experience at Wembley, I wanted to go myself. But then I thought: why send a grown up when I can send a proper panel of young reporters? So I handed the mission to Sherin, Eleanor, and a very brave five year old. They went, they explored, they took notes. And here is what they told me.
Walking into the Pixar universe
The experience is located on…
I’ve seen London from the Shard. I’ve dangled in a pod on the London Eye. I’ve peered out of skyscrapers that made my ears pop. But nothing beats the view from the top of Battersea Power Station’s chimney.
Earlier this May, I grabbed my bestie Donatella (because some friendships are fuelled by prosecco and shared awe) and headed to Lift 109, the attraction that takes you up inside one…
I’ve lived in London long enough to know that you can walk past the same street a hundred times without ever turning down it. But this week, I finally did turn. And what I found stopped me in my tracks.
Just a stone’s throw from the chaos of Waterloo Station – with its rushing commuters, tourist herds, and that perpetual smell of hot dogs and diesel – I stumbled into a tiny knot of…
I went to seeMoulin Rouge! Il Musicalat the Sistina Chapiteau in Rome on 1 February 2026 with my dear friend Donatella, and let me tell you, it was pure, unadulterated magic from start to finish. Goosebumps. Hair-on-end. The kind of night where you can’t stop smiling, singing along (yes, we were those people), and feeling completely transported.
First of all, the venue…
If there’s one thing more British than queuing, apologising unnecessarily, or discussing the weather with Olympic-level commitment, it’s the glorious ritual of eating strawberries and cream at Wimbledon. Honestly – what other country pairs elite athleticism with a pudding? With the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum’s brand-new exhibition A Slice of History (19 November 2025 – Autumn…
If you’re hunting for a magical way to kick off the festive season, the LEGO Chalet of Play in Covent Garden is an absolute must-visit. I popped in with fellow London Mum Rosalba and teen Maya, and we couldn’t resist getting hands-on straight away. We even built a few adorable LEGO figures – including a black cat and a tiny present – now proudly hanging on our Christmas tree. A little…
