Little LegendsWhat's on for Kids around the UK

Where, near you, are your top five most useful places for parents or people looking after children?

At a dinner the other day, the daughter of a couple of friends was taken ill and they needed to find a late night chemist. And it was a little depressing how hard it was to find one, even with the wonders of the, ahem, digital interweb.

Which got me thinking, what are the top 5 places near me that I’d recommend to parents or people looking after children ?

As a starter for ten, mine are as follows (and though they’re great, I’ve left out places like the Science Museum because I felt they’re a)more widely known, and b) not really local to me.). These are the first that spring to mind as local “secrets” – but there are almost certainly more, there are almost certainly better ones, and almost certainly more undiscovered ones.

Location: West London, UK

1. Bunton’s – Earl’s Court
   Late night Chemist – the one we found
2. The Music House for Children – Uxbridge Road
   Does some great music concerts for kids
3. One O’clock club and cafe – Ravenscourt Park
4. Snap Dragon – Turnham Green Terrace
   Toy shop, fake moustaches etc
5. Bramley’s Big Adventure – Bramley Road/Westway flyover
   Indoor play. A lot of indoor play.

If you know anywhere near you that others might not know about, and have a few moments, it would be great if you could share them on your own blog (or here if you don’t have one).
