Keeping children entertained in London is easy once you know where to look. The city is packed with hands-on museums, free galleries, parks, workshops, family theatre and seasonal events — many of them free, and most easy to reach by tube or bus.

This page collects kid-friendly events and activities on across London now, hand-picked for families. We flag ages where it helps, show the venue and neighbourhood, and note dates and booking so a day out comes together quickly. During school holidays and half-term the programme expands, and you'll find dedicated round-ups for those weeks too.

From dinosaur galleries and science centres to storytelling sessions, family concerts and outdoor adventures, browse what's on below and follow any listing for full details.
