Thumbnail image for What to do in London with kids that’s fun and different February 28, 2010

Some of the best activities in London for kids go un-noticed by the majority of Londoners and most tourists who come to London with kids don’t even know about them.
The Barbican Family Film Club is such an activity.
Everyone knows about the museums and other London attractions and consequently on Saturdays these places are busy and [...]

If you’ve never seen dragons dancing in the street
Come to London this Sunday for a treat.
The Chinese New Year is here once more
And you’ll see fireworks, dancing and there’s food galore.
–
Now most people head straight for Chinatown
Not realising there are other stages dotted around.
So that you get the most out of the day
Here’s a quick [...]

Meet Hello Kitty in London

I wasn’t going to bother writing about this Hello Kitty event until Chris came up with this statement.
“I can understand why little girls would like the character, but many grown women seem to think nothing of carrying around some Hello Kitty trinkets or something with the logo.”
But like I said to him, it isn’t that [...]

A round of applause please
I think I deserve it.

I think my heads about to swell.
A round of applause please

What is it with Valentine’s Day that makes so many people go away.
Away from their senses is what I mean
Can you believe I’ve been left here to swim upstream?
–
The other guys have flown the roost and left me to do all the posts.
I said that’s not fair,
They said what can we do, if you had [...]

The Russian Maslenitsa festival on Sunday 7th is new to me and even Ronnie says he hadn’t heard about it before.
This is the second year it’s been on and even though it’s not big yet, all festivals have to start somewhere.
To me it looks like it’s a good old fashioned family type event that just [...]

This one’s for parents, both near and far
Who’ve come to London with kids in tow
But haven’t got a clue where to go.
–
Yes there are the attractions and museums too
But “we’re bored, take us somewhere new.”
We don’t claim to be the 3 wise men
But we do know a place or two
To stop the verbal abuse you’re [...]
