What to do in Dulwich with kids for the summer?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new in the neighborhood (and in the country!) and am about to spend a Dulwich-based month of August of unpacking and summer fun, with my 6 and 8 year old children.

I know how to use Google for ideas of things to do, but I thought I'd also ask here for any well-informed tips :)

Thanks!

Welcome.


For stuff to do with them or activity clubs for them to attend whilst you unpack?


For the former - you will know about some of these already but I recommend:

Dulwich Park has a lake with pedalos, also recumbent bikes for hire,

Horniman Museum is brilliant for kids that age, loads of interactive stuff indoors and outside

Crystal Palace Park is nice and has the remains of the original Palace plus some historic dinosaur statues

Battersea Park has a small zoo with adventure playground - also Go Ape (treetop adventures)

The South Bank of the Thames has lots going on including Tate Modern which is free entry so you can dip in and out without buying tickets.

Welcome!

My youngest is 7… things we are doing :


Time at various parks, there are loads to choose from locally

Swimming at Alleyns (intensive booked classes)

Horniman museum

Dulwich library (there’s a free exotic creature event on Thursday 11-12)

Ice cream at oddonos on lordship lane

There’s an art class place on Melbourne Grove

You can get cheaper theatre tickets for kids in London in August


Have you got school places sorted out?


Good luck with the unpacking!

    • The physio wasn't physically based at The Gardens, just attached to the surgery rather than my having to be referred to a hospital physio department.

    • Another great encounter with Aria. A leaking toilet was fixed quickly and cleanly and for a reasonable price. Aria’s always going to be our first call for plumbing work, and he knows a lot of good local people for their types of jobs.
