London half term ideas

10 replies

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 20/10/2018 17:45

My brain has fallen out my ears and I have no ideas of what to do over the half term.

I’m a nanny, I’ll have a 9yo, 4yo, 2yo and 7m old. We’re in London, live in London...spend every half term doing stuff and now I can’t for the life of me work out what to do that suits them all-9yo is from a different family so don’t normally have to fit things around them.

4yo gets horrendously travel sick so boats and DLR are out.

Any ideas hugely appreciated !

I can’t bare the science museum in the half term Grin

I was looking at the transport museum for the middle two but is there much to do around Covent Garden for the 9 year old?

The age gap is proving problematic! (It’s not, there’s a million things to do in London, I just can’t think of any of them!!)

The Museum of London Docklands always has loads of great school holiday activities.
Watch the pelicans being fed in St James' Park
Check the Tower Bridge website to find out when it's due to lift up. It's quite a site if you've never seen it before.

The Olympic Park is good if you can get there easily.
The swimming pool is great plus a good playground and the Orbital structure

There's a space thing on at Greenwich - haven't looked at the details but it popped up on my fb, kids go free at St Paul's, also saw something at British Library but can't remember what.
