Looking for tips/ideas on what area to spend an afternoon in London this Sunday. I'm there Sunday and Monday with my Mrs and twins who are babies. Staying in Kensington but will be able to drive wherever with no congestion charge on the Sunday. Like Camden but may be too busy with twins.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Go for a stroll in the park and see the recently refurbished Albert Memorial. |  |

Get yourself a big bag of Columbian marching powder and head to Soho. Obviously you'll need to leave the Misses behind to look after the kids. |  | | |

Kensington is a nice part of London.
I always take a stroll up to the natural history and science museums...good for kids too. |  |

Just don't pay the donations when you get in. It's supposed to be free. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Don't be so tight. The museums struggle without donations. | | | |

Kew Gardens if the weather is nice. |  | | |

If you can find the missus and kids something to do then theres always Clapham common. You could meet some lovely people down there who may invite you back to their flat for a meal. But it's best if you don't take your wallet. |  |

Weathers looking pretty decent so try Battersea Park. It's a short drive from Kensington, it's right next to the river for walks, boating lake, cafe or take a picnic and there's a zoo. There's always some sort of event there too. |  | | |

Thanks for the suggestions. The marching powder is my preferred option but I could be returning to Swansea divorced. Every cloud!!! | | | |

If you walk up to the Albert Memorial (Kensington Gardens) as Darran suggests, cut down the road opposite (Queensgate) and turn off to Queens Gate Mews where you'll find a lovely little pub for a Sunday lunch (The Queens Arms), from there, you carry on walking down Queensgate away from the park and at the bottom you'll find the V&A, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, all of which are good.
Back at the top end (by the park) on the next road to Queensgate (Exhibition Road) if you walk down there a couple of yards, you'll pass the Royal Geographical Society, which has a good exhibition at the moment about Shackelton's Expedition to the Antarctic (starts in his office at the RGS). The Serpentine Galley (Hyde Park) has its summer pavilion up at the moment which is always worth a look, and if you fancy a good laugh, walk down Kensington High Street in the other direction to Olympia, where this weekend is the annual collection of weirdos dressed up in strange outfits (Comic Con).
Camden these days is crap and over touristy, but if you do go up that way, then The Engineer is a lovely pub for lunch, and you can get a boat trip from Camden down the Regents Canal to Little Venice which is nice (can takes you through the back of London Zoo). The walk from Camden down the canal is beautiful - through the zoo, past all the huge Nash houses in Regents Park (Sven Goran Eriksson used to live in one of them). You can walk to Little Venice (in Maida Vale) where there are lovely bars and restaurants, and can then follow the Grand Union Canal to the Paddington Basin where you can walk down through Notting Hill, and cut through Holland Park or Kensington Gardens back to your hotel again. | | | |

The water is quite clean apparently although I wouldn't swim in there !
There's a giant sculpture thing of Rebecca Adlington in the Serpentine at the moment. | | | |

There was a weird structure/piece of art outside that people were climbing in and out of. | |

That's the summer pavilion you're talking about probably. At the Serpentine Gallery so right next to the actual lake? A different artist / architect does one every year. | | | |

Hi Lisa
Have you ever been here?

A great old fashioned museum full off strange objects in dusty cases! |  |

Absolutely ! A great little place - used to live in West Norwood for about 10 years, so it wasn't far to Forest Hill. | | | |

Why don't you invite them around to yours for a game of trivial pursuit? | | | |

Oh and taxi drivers are robbing c*nts too. | |
