Kids Days Out In Greater London

Outer London is where most London families actually spend their weekends, and it is a good deal cheaper than the centre. The farms, the country parks and the big indoor play centres are all out here, and you can usually park.

We list 103 attractions across the outer boroughs. Hobbledown near Epsom and the climbing centres cover the active days, and there is enough soft play and trampolining within the M25 to see out a wet half term.

Worth knowing: a lot of these are quicker by car than by tube, which is the reverse of central London. Check the school holiday timetables before you set off.
