The 30 Best Fun activities in London

“Stella was amazing! We asked her to perform again this year because she was fantastic last year as well. We would love to invite her again next year! ✨”

“OMG!! We had the best Lego themed party for 7 years old. Luke deserves more than 5 stars… excellent communication, arrived early,very flexible, and super energetic. The kids were tired (in a good way) in the first hour with lots of active games outside, but also enjoyed creating Lego objects and sharing their ideas to friends. No wonder why Lucas gets outstanding feedbacks!! I would choose Brilliant birthdays again, their responses were very friendly and prompt. Thank you so much”

“I used to do muai thai kickboxing many years ago. Following a injury to my hip I had to stop. I never thought I'd be able to engage in this sport I love so much. Well, until I started training with Jimmy about 5 months ago. His understanding of the body, injury prevention and rehabilitation, really helped. The range of movement in my hip continues to get better and stronger. I am faster, stronger, my technique continues to improve. I really connected well with Jimmys style of training, as its about training like a athlete, the discipline and commitment. Also his passion for the sport. When I think about where I started when I first started training with Jimmy to where I am now, I feel very thankful, plus proud of my journey and I am excited to continue progressing my skills in this sport I love very much! And its all because of the sessions with Jimmy, so thank you so much for being the best and always believing that I can do it! I always feel like a total champion after our sessions!”

“My 3 year old son looks forward to his Playball class each week. The structured lessons have helped to develop his listening and turn taking skills. I have seen huge improvements in his throwing, catching, jumping and running skills. Coach Grant is wonderful! He is so patient with the children. I would highly recommend this class to any 3-4 year olds.”

“A great service, much appreciated by us and our dachshund Roy! We needed to go out without our puppy who had little experience with dog sitters, and he absolutely loved Harli. We got frequent updates from her, Roy had a great night, making everyone relaxed and happy, would recommend to anyone.”

“We really love the team at Seriously FUN Swimming. Our boys have such fun at their Sunday morning lessons and have become confident swimmers. Each instructor at every level is expertly suited to guide the kids through their lessons and milestones. The structure that is in place is best in class and we're thrilled with the progression both of our boys are showing whilst keeping the fun element for them. Highly recommend Seriously FUN Swimming!”

“We had so much fun here! There are more than 10 lanes, each group gets 2 and the staff are incredibly helpful for complete beginners like us, they showed us the correct technique and trick shots! We even managed to play a game! Great bonding activity, would recommend”

“We went to escape London yesterday for our first ever escape room. What an experience! We tried the Area 51 room and it was very difficult for us but had fun throughout! Bea was lovely and welcomed us in and gave us our briefing super helpful! And we didn’t hesitate to radio Daniel for hints whenever we were stuck (which was quite a lot). He didn’t make us feel useless and guided us along the way and even took pictures for us. 10/10 , can’t wait to come back again and try an easier room!”

“Had a great time completing the "Escape The Castle" room. Phoebe was an excellent host. We were a group of 8, which is slightly over the recommended group size for the room. Even then, there was still enough space to move around and try different tasks in parallel. The challenges themselves were very well though out, fun, challenging and fit the theme quite well. Definitely one of the best escape room experiences. Highly recommend.”

“We had such a great time at clueQuest! The puzzles were quite challenging, but with a bit of guidance we managed to work our way through them. The storyline was really engaging and the room design was top-notch — you can tell a lot of thought went into every detail. Ollie was absolutely fantastic – helpful, supportive, incredibly kind and patient from start to finish. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable and fun. We left with big smiles and a real sense of accomplishment. Highly recommend to anyone who loves clever puzzles and great storytelling!”

“I cannot praise this swimming school highly enough! I’ve been using them for both my children. My eldest is very close to finishing her lessons hopefully and she started off as a non swimmer and she is now a confident swimmer who enjoys coming to every lesson. My youngest has just started off and is loving every minute of her sessions. The instructors are professional and cater to each individual needs. My kids love all the instructors and Claire is very quick at responding to any queries or questions parents have. When my partner broke his foot and couldn’t drive my eldest to her lessons - I told Claire about it and she went above and beyond to get my daughter into a different session time in order for her to not miss one lesson. I will definitely be recommending seriously swimming to anyone looking for a swim school. Thanks so much!!”

“Our son has been at Kateys for 9 months now and we couldn't be happier. The staff are so welcoming and loving towards the children. The range of activities, play and learning they do is outstanding. Each day useful feedback is given and periodically more thorough feedback in the form of a learning journal and parents evenings. I'm always astonished by the range and depth of topics covered. The setting is excellent too with lots of outdoor space and nearby points of interest. Highly recommend.”

“We enjoyed the da Vinci room that we solved in less than one hour. The location is very good in Oxford Street, easy to reach. The choreography can be improved, clearly they don't have the budget and human resources of park themes. The game is fun and we got an quick introduction before starting. Probably the game is too hard for children, the target are teenagers, youth and adults.The staff is friendly and the toilet clean.”

“When I first started Sam’s classes, I couldn’t dance at all! I love dancing but I just looked so stiff every time I tried! Sam has helped me through my learning journey by teaching me dance techniques, fundamentals and combos that I will keep forever. His classes has really helped build my confidence and made me a better dancer (I hope!) Would highly recommend Sam!”

“Both my children attend Seriously Fun Swimming and love the lessons. They have become super confident swimmers thanks to the patient and kind teachers at SFS! They look forward to going to lessons each week and the teachers make it fun a particular highlight being the end of term certificate presentation and “fun week”! I would wholeheartedly recommend SFS to all parents looking to get their children swimming confidently and loving the water!!x”

“HIGHLY recommend this spot to swim. It's tucked away in a picturesque location, with a lovely dock with changing rooms and places to store your belongings. There are three loops of different lengths to choose from - perfect for those who are training to complete a specific distance. The staff are really friendly and helpful - they host different events to help test your skill and have 121 coaching on offer as well. Bright coloured caps and tow floats are required - they do have a supply of some as well. Lovely dining spots nearby for those wanting to make an occasion out of it - including outdoor bars on the water during the summer.”

“The Guinness is one of the best in London. Oh the chips with Roast chicken mayo is something else.”

“This is the most incredible experience I had in London in a long time.. and I recently did two secret cinema. But this is just sooo good. Everything is very well curated, the sound, the visual effect. Super recommended if you are a fan. Well done to the actors there, credible, exhilarating, entertaining. Money well spent!! Loved it so much I wouldn't mind going again”

“Great activity for kids. Clean, tidy and lots of fun! Tickets are good value but you have to buy and use their own socks which adds to the cost first time round. Soft play for under 5s and younger jumper section cordoned off from main area which is nice for smaller ones. Cafe didn't open until 9:30am although our ticket was from 9am so spectators or jumpers might have to wait if first in. Other areas include a dodgeball arena, crash pit, basketball trampoline court. Spectators can sit in cafe which is upstairs and good view of whole place.”

“Had my son's 5th birthday party here and him and his friends were having a blast. The trampoline area is big but not too overwhelming, several staff members were looking after everyone for safety reasons. The UV party room was excelent, the kids were all delighted. The food was fresh and tasty, the pizza was warm and delicious. The staff member was attentive and helpful in the room. I wish I took her name to put it here. We're all felt very well looked after and not rushed at all even if we passed our 30 minutes time in there. Thank you! We will be coming back!”

“Fantastic Family Fun at Fun Junction Play! We had an amazing time at Fun Junction Play! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was cheerful, clean, and welcoming. The play structures were vibrant, safe, and packed with variety – perfect for kids of all ages. My little ones especially loved the ball pit and the slides, and the toddler zone was a great touch for younger children. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly and safely. I also appreciated how well-maintained and hygienic the entire place was. There were plenty of seating areas for parents, and the café had a nice selection of snacks and drinks to keep us comfortable while the kids played. Overall, Fun Junction Play is a wonderful indoor play center that offers both fun and peace of mind. We’ll definitely be back – highly recommended for a fun day out with the kids!”

“Great place for kids and serious nature lovers. Our 5 and 7 year olds had a great time and sustained interest from 10.30-3.30 with huge range of activities. Video game incorporating kids sketches a particular favourite. Catering good but slow”

“Bruce’s is the best thing that happened for my pooch. As a single parent and a travel ridden job I was worried, post covid, about the experience I will give my young Lab, Loki. These guys are a part of Lokis extended family. Dog loving carers, plentiful of space for the pooches to engage meaningfully, care and safety taken care of on top of daily updates on pick up and drops. Loads of good luck guys , u guys are providing an awesome service Thanks Bedi”

“I really enjoy the classes with my son Freddie. We are now going onto level 4 baby swim with Nano. Nano is a great instructor, he takes time to explain what we need to do and shows professionalism and makes the classes enjoyable. My son who's 11 months loves the swimming and listening to the nursery rhymes. I would recommend osterley centre it is clean and staff are lovely. It's a brilliant set up and I'm looking forward to many more lessons. Xox”

“A hidden gem of beautiful country side where wildlife can find a little haven and humans can admire Mother Nature in a busy city. The meadowlands are full of buttercups and dog roses and sift long grass. We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon for my son’s birthday picnic. There’s no rubbish and the park is very peaceful.”

“Great place in Hackney, was here for the first time. changing room inside and outside, (need 1 pound), the water is great as well as the depth! also the staff is wonderful, if something is wrong they explain everything clearly! I will definitely visit this pool again, and recommend it to friends!!!”

“Puddles were brilliant, completely hassle free and very organised. Frankie was amazing – she didn't really need anything from us and setup by herself while we were franticly getting decorations up and food sorted. She came as a racing car driver and kept all the kids' attention - even the older ones! They loved the treasure hunt and tattoos, and all gave her a huge hug at the end. Thanks for helping to make my son's 4th birthday really special.”

“Returned for our annual.years Halloween visit. Bit disappointed to find the Halloween walk through bit was closed off however realised upon checking that we were a day early. Decided to make the most of it and enjoy the rides. Took some really lovely Halloween photos of my girls lots of perfect back drops and props available throughout the park Staff were lovely especially the man on the train ride. Staff on both coffee stations were friendly and my daughter's both enjoyed a delicious custom made hot chocolates in after eight and unicorn. Animals looked happy and with plenty of space to roam around. It was lovely to see the pig foraging for plants and eating on the grass. Two lovely carousels, a rollercoaster and several other rides plus the staff make this place a really fun day out for all the family We will return”

“I recently had the privilege of experiencing "The wizarding school," an immersive Harry Potter-themed escape room, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped into the enchanted chamber, our group of 5 was transported into the wizarding world, tasked with unraveling the mysteries of Hogwarts. The room's attention to detail was impressive, with intricate set designs, authentic props, and clever nods to the beloved book series. The atmosphere was electric, with dimly lit candles, flickering lanterns, and an eerie soundtrack that perfectly captured the essence of the Harry Potter universe. The puzzles and challenges were expertly crafted, requiring collaboration, creativity, and a dash of magical thinking. We navigated through a series of cleverly designed trials, from deciphering ancient spells to outsmarting mischievous magical creatures. Each obstacle led us closer to our ultimate goal: escaping the clutches of the Dark Lord himself! The game masters, Daniel and Will, were exceptional, providing subtle hints and guidance when needed, while allowing us to revel in our triumphs and learn from our mistakes. The 60-minute time limit flew by, and before we knew it, we were standing outside, beaming with pride, having successfully escaped the wizard's lair! If you're a Harry Potter fan, an escape room enthusiast, or simply seeking a unique adventure, "The Wizard's Escape" is an absolute must-try. Gather your friends, don your wizarding robes, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable quest! Tips: - Arrive early to soak up the pre-game atmosphere and immerse yourself in the wizarding world. - Pay attention to every detail - you never know what might hold the key to your escape! - Don't be afraid to ask for help - the game masters are there to guide you on your magical journey.”

“Great experience, had alot of fun. Would definitely recommend!”
