Can anyone recommend places to visit with very little children/toddlers that you can get to easily from East Dulwich (preferably by public transport)?


Ideally these would be things that you can do in a half-day - before or after a lunchtime nap.


We don't seem to last more than half an hour at home before we get bored, and we can't go to the Horniman every weekend!

Soft play at the National Army Museum - train from Nunhead, Peckham Rye or Denmark Hill to Victoria, then either walk from Victoria to the museum (approx 15-20 mins) or catch the 170 bus. Book tickets for the Kids Zone online - ?2.50. Can't go wrong!


Bus from East Dulwich to Burgess Park to visit the 1st Place Children's Centre - they have a sensory room there that can be booked for an hour for free which is great for babies / young toddlers, a nice cafe and the park itself is brilliant

Thanks for these, some great suggestions.


There must also be some places near the line through Blackfriars from Peckham Rye... ? The Wellcome Collection near King's Cross? (I seem to remember they have a rather exciting collection of forceps. Maybe in a few years time...)

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
