Littlelegends: A Parallel Project

For those of you who live across the pond (in the States), you may be interested to know that there is a similar project to Little Legends but for the US. It is called Parentography and their catchphrase is “Connecting Families on the Go”. Just like our site, you can:

* search for child friendly services, restaurants, hotels, activities, playgrounds and attractions
* rate or review any of the entries
* sign up and connect with other parents

I wish them all the best and hope that we can strike up a conversation with them and share some great ideas about how to develop our sites further.

Useful places for kids near you

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).
