I’m back – fingers crossed that I can keep this up for a while! But, hey let’s get back to the weekend. It’s that lovely time of year when the leaves turn brown, a chill hits the air yet there are still things to do outdoors.
So what’s on?
SATURDAY (19th October)
Head to the Southbank and make friends with some grazing
goats! From 12pm head up to the wildflower meadow on Queen Elizabeth Hall
roof gardens. There will be seed and woodworking activities with tea and food
in the garden.
The 59
and 68 to Waterloo will take you there. Or catch the tube or overground.
Fancy traveling further afield? Then head up to Russell
Square for the Bloomsbury festival.
Family activities on offer include:
- · The Indonesia Kontemporar at SOAS, University of London (10 Thornhaugh St, London WC1H 0XG) featuring music, dressing up, storytelling, crafts and food.
- · Turn your doodles into cartoons at the Cartoon Museum (25 Little Russell Street, WC1A 2HH) from 12pm to 12:45pm and 2pm to 2:45pm.
- · Lots of walking tours – check the programme for more details. Great for parents with little babies in buggies or slings.
- · Love anything underwater? Then take a look around the Grant Museum of Zoology, (UCL, Rockefeller Building, University Street, London WC1e 6DE) from 1pm to 4pm, for their Life Under the Waves activities.
The buses 59 and 68 will take you to Euston which is close by. Festival continues through to Sunday.
And one more for those who want to stay closer to home, pop
over to Myatts
Fields for the Big Draw! From 1 to 4pm, draw with chalks around the
bandstand and enjoy live music!

SUNDAY (20th October)
Heading back into Lambeth, take a stop at Streatham Common
Community Gardens, located next to the Rookery and enjoy their Apple
and Squash day. From 12pm to 4pm, you can make juice and eat squash. Yum!
Buses up that way include the 417 and 249.
More apples? Then head down to the Globe to catch the Lion’s Part perform… as part of October
Plenty and Borough
Market Apple Day. There will also be traditional games, storytelling and an
apple orchard. To get to Bankside on bus, the 45 which passes through Brixton stops at Blackfriars
Bridge Road. Alternatively, there is always the tube to Southwark.

And finally if it’s raining, check out A Family
at Wartime exhibition at the Imperial War Musem (Lambeth
Rd, London SE1 6HZ). It tells the real experiences of a family in
Stockwell. The Museum is open from 10am to 6pm. The 3, 344, 59 and 159 buses pass the museum.
Have a good
weekend!
