Toddler London

I’m always surprised just how much it’s possible to do in London with children. It was easy getting around with one, slightly harder with two.

We live in Ruislip and some of our favourite things to do include taking a ride on the train at Ruislip Lido Railway and Roxbourne Park Miniature Railway, visiting the sandy beach at Ruislip Lido, exploring the park at Church Field Gardens in Ruislip, Pinner Memorial Park and Cassiobury Park. We also love to visit our local Farmers Market and library, both held at the beautiful Manor Farm historic site in Ruislip and attend events at The Windmill Studio in Ruislip Manor.

Our favourite parks:

• Highgate Woods Children’s Playground, Highgate
• Broomfield Park, Palmers Green
• Priory Park, Crouch End
• Ally Pally, Haringey
• Ruislip Lido, Ruislip
