Zašto ga lokalci preporučuju

This Walthamstow warehouse is a visual sensation stuffed full with neon signs—some glowing, some in disrepair. Kids will be dazzled by vintage circus lights and original neon art hanging from the ceiling, walls, and propped against every available surface. When you need a break, their Rolling Scones cafe does good coffee and cake. Visit as part of a day spent hopping round Walthamstow Village’s shops and cafes—nearby Sodo Pizza Cafe is delicious and super kid-friendly.

A museum of neon light and café. This establishment is the workshop of well know neon light artist, Chris Baley who opened up the premises to the public. It's well worth a visit! In the same industrial estate, you can visit the Gin Palace and Wild Card Brewery

There are so many fun things to do here - on foot/by bus/overground/underground or by car. I strongly recommend you download the ‘citymapper’ App if you plan to use public transport as it tells you the easiest/quickest way to get from a to b. Local fun places to visit in walthamstow 1. William Morris Gallery and Lloyd Park 2. God’s Own Junkyard 3. Wingfield Park (in Walthamstow Village) a small playground a very short walk to the old village with various cafe/shop/restaurants to check out 4. Walthamstow Wetlands (they have kids’ activities on there and a cafe there too) Slightly further away- Epping forest - Via overground train from Walthamstow Central, get off at Chingford station and walk to Butler’s Retreat cafe then walk on to Connaught Water for an easy flat-ish walk around a lake with woods to explore -Via car drive to High Beech, either take a picnic or eat at The King’s Oak pub. Wander though the beautiful woods there (visitor’s centre will provide info on walks) Stratford- Discover Story Centre (must book on-line in advance) storytelling and in basement an amazing interactive gallery which brings ‘Tiger who came to Tea’ story to life. Lovely garden. Small cafe- or go out for lunch afterwards in the mega Westfield shopping centre (head to top two floors for restaurants or lovely canteen food from all over the world) -Catch bus there much easier than driving Stratford Westfield shopping centre- for various high street shops and restaurants and bowling and cinema Stratford Olympic Park Good to just wander around - Olympic swimming pool, velodrome, various gardens, swan boats, often a fair or something on in school holidays **Really lovely fountains to play in next to football stadium (take child swim suit, towel, change of clothes and sandals) Playgrounds that go all the way from aquatic centre to velodrome. To drive to I would recommend the Gruffalo Trail, and the Stickman trail just up the M11. Both excellent and have basic cafes. Around London nearby- Hatfield House or Lea Valley Park Park both worth visiting if farm animals are popular. If you want zoo animals then Colchester Zoo is the best (better than London Zoo and than Paradise wildlife park, though those two are fine). Central London Obviously millions of things to choose from. The basement in Science Museum- amazing interactive and fun stuff- and also worth paying to go to wonderland even for 4 and 2yr old (catch Victoria line to Finsbury Park then cross platform and catch Piccadilly line to South Kensington then walk to Science Museum)... after science museum dart across the road to have a picnic lunch and paddle in the courtyard garden of the V and A museum (science museum and Victoria and Albert are free but food there is REALLY pricey). Then if feeling energetic then a short walk up to Hyde Park- walk along south bank of Serpentine and play in Diana Memorial Fountain and grab a pimms at the Lido cafe or wait until you get to the place at the other end as they sell good pizza right on the bank. Catch tube home from Hyde Park Corner (or Green Park if you can get that far). Peter Pan playground in Kensington Gardens is excellent (Queensway tybe 1 min away) Another favourite is to catch tube to Pimlico, nip in to Tate Britain to look at main exhibition hall, grab a cuppa in cafe then walk to the river and catch the boat along the Thames (you will see all main London sights and it costs about £8 per person, easy with a buggy). Jump of the Clipper wherever you fancy but the Tate Modern is worth a visit if only to go into the Turbine hall to see what’s on and to go up to the tenth floor of the new extension (ask someone which lift to take) - you will be rewarded with an amazing 360 degree view of London and it is totally free (unlike the London Eye!).
