Fortune Street park has a little playground. There is a footpath through to it from Whitecross Street which may be the most direct route (turn left out of Barbican entrance on Silk st, go straight across junction with main road, go up Whitecross St then little path between buildings on left some way up).

We lived in North London til recently and I still regularly take my 3 year old to Museum of London. It is great for that age - it doesnt have a specific kids play area but lots of it is interactive and aimed at children so that they have the opportunity to eg try on hats or they have a mock prison door with all the keys and locks etc and there is a bit with a train that they can play with. Plus good running around space and a pizza express nearby good for lunch if you dont want to go to the cafe there.


There is a playground near Barbican and also the Barbican itself is not a bad place to spend some time either outdoors or in - lots of space to run about and lots of north london parents taking advantage!


In terms of getting there - train to Farringdon as above or its only a short bus ride from London Bridge: 21, 141 and get off round Moorgate and walk through


If the weather is good and you have time to kill after, thoroughly recommend jumping on a Thames Clipper boat east or West too

    • I'm thinking of going to India at Christmas and it's been 18 years since I last visited. So long ago, I can hardly remember where I went (I was there for 8 weeks...). Has anyone been to the South recently? I'm thinking Kerala, as we fancy some beach action. 
    • If it's not bolted down it gets stolen, terrible. Some people have no respect for others property.  Hope you reported it to the Police and got a crime reference number, what did they say? 
    • Try pavement, this is London, not the US. The Mayor increased his proportion of council tax in 2025/26 to pay for "more" haha PC's but my understanding is they were cut not increased. A rouse by the Mayor to take more and give nothing in return.  Troubling and far too common here.  Just be careful where you get it out
    • Just saw one of them on lordship lane scanning the area on the sidewalks in a hood and mask on an e-bike.  I just pointed at them pretending that I was on the phone with the cops and he darted away.  Absolute scum. Hard problem to solve. I'm hopeful there are strategies in place to keep our community safe for this but it's troubling.
