Spring seems a long time coming at the moment, and with all these grey days, children’s activities for January and February need to be easy, relatively cheap and rain-free. Here are my top picks of things to do in London with kids in the last few days of winter.
First up is the Discover Story Centre in Stratford. If you can drag yourself away from Westfield, this is an absolutely magical place…
DISCOVER A NEW AND UNIQUE BILINGUAL FRENCH/ENGLISH ART & MUSIC SPACE & CULTURAL CENTRE.
Artpeggios is a music and art school in west London for everyone from the age of eight and upwards.
Just pick up the Beat! Playing an arpeggio is simply playing a chord one note at a time. The philosophy at Artpeggios is to take care of each music- lover, each music-player at a time. At his own…
Messy playing with colour is amazing whether you are a child or an adult. Personally I cannot resist colouring and messing around with paints …. Maybe it’s a bit childish but summer holidays are a great time for us parents to play more with kids. And colours are just perfect tools to start with!
Being based in SW London and spoilt for choice with activities for kids, we may often…
If you thought for a moment that teddy bears are boring, well think twice after checking this post about London Mums experiencing a Build-a-Bear workshop. I must admit I often passed by the shops across London and never dared entering as I found the idea of making a teddy bear not quite exciting …. I was SO wrong.
Check our videos here and see for yourself what the experience is all…
From Saturday 11th February 2012, the Science Museum is to display the Chilean rescue capsule – Fénix 2. So exciting, thinking at the incredible story we all watched on TV only a couple of years ago.
The capsule was specially built to rescue 33 miners who were trapped underground at the San José mine, Chile in October 2010. The 3.9m capsule is made of steel and measures 54cm wide. All of…
On 21 February 2012, ONE08, situated on Marylebone Lane, will celebrate Shrove Tuesday by giving diners complimentary pancakes.
Between 9-11am guests enjoying a coffee or tea will receive FREE pancakes served with the traditional accompaniments of sugar and lemon. ONE08 will also treat lunch and dinner guests to a pancake dessert.
ONE08 is one of Marylebone Village’s best-loved venues. The…
Heddon street is the MUST-BE area for dining out with kids. This is where London Mums favourite restaurants are.
The Living Room is really an elegant restaurant with Piano bar while you eat with all comforts of your own home and flexible arrangements for families.
The Kids’ menu is very varied and of good quality: Garlic bread and the home made ciabatta bread have high quality olives (not…
Beaufort House Chelsea is located on the Kings Road, on the corner of Beaufort Street. The public ground floor is an award-winning brasserie open throughout the day, and the fabulous ground-floor cocktail bar mixes some of the best cocktails in town in the evening – both are open to all. A perfect stopping off point after shopping on the Kings Road, and ideal for watching the world go by!

In the heart of Central London, in Heddon Street (off Regents Street) London Mums have found a top child-friendly restaurant, cafe’, self-service, with a ‘customer is king’ approach. Tibits is where I met Gail Porter for an interview to appear in the London Mums magazine issue 5 (winter 2011/spring 2012).
