Top Secret exhibition at the London Science Museum

Top Secret exhibition at the London Science Museum

Posted on July 13, 2019August 3, 2020 by jenny

If you are looking for something to do with the kids this summer in London then look no further than the Science Museum. It’s a firm favourite with our family for lots of reasons, mainly because it’s free and is a great place to learn about science! We’ve already shared our experience at Wonderlab and…

A few weekends ago we visited the Chiltern Open Air Museum. Can you believe it has been on our list since we moved to Hillingdon 6 years ago? Yet it took us 6 years to find a free weekend! Anyway, we had a fantastic day at the Chiltern Open Air Museum with our tweens so…

A visit to Bletchley Park with tweens

Posted on June 2, 2019May 12, 2022 by jenny

I still can’t write about our trip to Centre Parc Woburn just yet (there was just far too much sick and blood!). However on the way home we decided to stop off at Bletchley Park. We hadn’t visited in over 10 years and definitely not with tweens, so were long overdue a visit. A visit…

Exploring the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London {with a 7 and 9 year old}

Posted on May 23, 2019May 11, 2023 by jenny

A few weeks ago we finally got to visit the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, aka the Harry Potter Studio Tour. I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to visit and I didn’t realise you had to book so far in advance. I’ve read all the books, watched the films, and tried to introduce…

Exploring Tower Bridge with kids

Posted on March 31, 2019May 22, 2025 by jenny

A few weeks ago we were invited to visit Tower Bridge and The Monument, two iconic landmarks in London. It had been a while since our last visit to Tower Bridge, and we’d never taken the kids to The Monument, so we were looking forward to a great day out. The weather was perfect, so…

We were in London last week and just had to stop off to visit the brand new Harry Potter Wand Walk. Have you heard about it?

Posted on October 24, 2018June 5, 2020 by jenny

A few weeks ago, we attended a really fun free event at Piccadilly in the West End. Much of the street was closed for the NFL Kickoff which took over Piccadilly for the launch of the season. NFL is the biggest sport in the United States with more than 160 million people watching the Super Bowl each…

Last weekend we were lucky to receive an invitation to ZSL London. Who doesn’t love a trip to the zoo? Even better, not only did we have the chance to see some of our favourite animals, we were also lucky to celebrate the launch of the second season of Vampirina on Disney Junior and have…

It’s been a long time since we went and picked our own fruit and veg. In fact it is over5 years ago when we used to live in North London. Then we ventured north to Parkside Farm Pick Your Own Farm in Enfield. I think we had one child, there may have been two. What…
