Southbank Centre
Situated on the south bank of the River Thames next to the popular BA London Eye, Southbank Centre is at the heart of an arts quarter stretching from the Royal National Theatre and National Film Theatre to Tate Modern and Shakespeares Globe.The Southbank Centre consists of the Royal Festival Hall (newly reopened after its two-year transformation), the Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall (containing the Purcell Room), and the Saison Poetry Library. Older children can enjoy unique family activities such as the recent Parkour (free running) workshops, and younger children will love having unlimited space to run around and can enjoy the street performers and waving to the boats. The whole area is very buggy friendly, and there are plenty of child friendly places to eat nearby.

I look after the day-to-day running of ReallyKidFriendly.com, as well as some geeky stuff behind the scenes. Thanks to my two boisterous rascals (aged 4 and 5), I have become an expert in soft play areas, parks, energetic music classes, and where to get a stiff drink once the kids have gone to bed. Really – ask me anything! 
It’s definitely worth signing up for their Family email newsletters, you get info on all the kid-friendly events going on in a month. Royal Festival Hall is open every day pretty much, from 10am, and you don’t have to buy anything. The upper levels are carpeted which is great for crawling babies. The Poetry Library has some neat stuff for older kids too (level 5 in the Royal Festival Hall). It’s a great place to meet other mums, or just take a break in the middle of a day in central London.
