Day trips with baby in SE London/Kent

[SilverSixpence]

Hi, I live in Beckenham, and need some places to go with DS (4 months). I'm a keen photographer, so pref somewhere with interesting architecture/gardens etc. I can go into central london, but tubes and prams don't go too well

We enjoyed going to the Horniman Museum and have done the shopping thing (bromley, croydon etc) to death and have no money, so need something else to do!

Kelsey Park in Beckenham is fabulous and will last for many years (but you've probably already discovered that).

oh no i haven't, not explored the area much! thanks for the tip

It has a huge lake with ducks, geese etc, which you can walk all the way round, open grass areas, pretty flower beds, a great children's play area and a cafe-van. Plenty of loos and space for bikes/scooters etc when bigger. Part of it is even dog free.

eltham palace is nice, lovely house and gardens to look around, not too far away

greenwich park is also a nice place to visit, really good play park for when your ds is older, maritime museum, the observatory, lovely flower gardens,
