    Free Things to do in London with kids

    London is a city that is jam packed with family-friendly things to do. Here are some options:

    Take a stroll through one of London’s famous parks

    It’s easy to think that London is all hustle and bustle and high rises, but there is a surprising number of spacious and beautiful parks in London to escape the crowd. And you’ll find they often have activities for kids. Hyde Park, Green Park and St James’s Park are very popular. You can take a casual stroll and see all the ducks and even feed the squirrels with your hands – so make sure you take some nuts. In Hyde Park you’ll find the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground.

    Rent a bicycle

    If you have kids over 14, you can borrow a rental bike to explore one of the parks, and even better, it’s free for the first 30 minutes!

    Visit the most famous toy store in the UK

    A visit to the famous Hamley’s toy store on Regent Street is a must for little ones. The impressive 6-storey toy store is enough to fill anyone’s heart with wonder.

    Visit a child friendly museum for FREE

    Whoever said museums are boring hasn’t stepped foot into one of London’s iconic museums! London is filled with impressive museums – and so many of them are free. Some of the ones we recommend are:

    • Science Museum: Curious children will love the Science Museum, it’s filled with experiments, games and activities – there’s no way they’ll be bored here.
    • Natural History Museum: This is a firm favourite thanks to its rooms filled with impressive dinosaur fossils and bones. It’s so easy to get lost in the many rooms here, especially the interactive creepy critter rooms.
    • Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood: This museum gives visitors a rare chance to view a wide collection of toys, dating back to 1872. There are so many activities for kids to get involved with – it’s a little bit further away from the centre, but easily reached by public transport or taxi.

    Visit an urban farm

    Surprisingly even in London, you can find farms – where the whole family can enjoy meeting the sheep, goats and many more cute animals. We recommend Hackney City Farm, which has free entry in zone 2. If you want to visit this farm, we would suggest visiting Broadway Market in Hackney and Regent’s Canal too.

    Free workshops in Somerset House

    There are free workshops for children ages 6-12 on a Saturday afternoon. Check their website for more information here.

    Kew Gardens

    Although adults will have to pay to enter the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, all children under 17 can enter Kew Gardens for free. There are so many activities In these impressive gardens and parks, that you’ll be able to spend the whole day here with the family.
