Hire Boris bikes and cycle along the embankment

Boat hire in Little Venice

Pirate castle kayaking

Swim in an outdoor lido

King's Place is a short walk away. Riding the escalator is fun and there are bug squashy leather cushions you can loll about on.

Not sure if you can still do it but climbing monument was cheap and cheerful once upon a time. And nice views for teenage selfies

There used to be crazy golf in the basement of Camden Market (useful to know if it pours with rain like today)

HMS Belfast was really good if they like history.

Harry Potter Walking tour

Mine really enjoyed Tower Bridge recently. Didn't seem as expensive as some other exhibitions. They also enjoyed the cable car although it's a bit out of the way and only takes about 5 minutes. The free museum at Greenwich was good, we spent ages in there. The observatory was good but expensive. There's a good playpark along at the end of Greenwich Park depending on the ages of your kids? There are toilets and it's just a quick walk to a coffee shop. (These are important for me when choosing a playpark)

Free psychedelic crazy golf at Canary Wharf? canarywharf.com

Notting Hill Carnival this Sunday?

Broadway Market and walk along canal to Islington or Kings Cross

Boat down Thames to Greenwich - the normal Uber boat, not a tourist boat.

If you have them, you can also use tesco clubcard points for the boat trip. Much recommended btw.. We know london really well but the boat up to Greenwich was great fun and we learned a lot!

You could have a look at Kids' Week tickets & see if you can get any theatre bargains? We just paid £50 ish for 6 seats for Horrible Histories at the Garrick theatre.

Tate Modern is always excellent

Look on today tix for theatre tickets. Sign up to their rush alerts. Tickets go on sale for that day at £25 at 10am. Need to be quick but usually very good tickets!

i second the boat to Greenwich, then the observatory, museum, market, cutty sark.

I had not either, it looks an easy place to while away some time www.coaldropsyard.com/

Now I am planning a trip to London after reading this!!
