Best Zoo in Maidstone Road

"The London Zoo is a fantastic place for toddlers, as it’s centrally located in Regent’s Park so it’s easy to get to and the number of animals who live here is astounding for a city zoo. Get up close to the giraffes, watch the meerkats run back and forth, head into the sloth exhibit or visit the tigers. There are child-friendly activities held at the zoo on a daily basis, and particularly when schools are out, you can always find something to do at the London Zoo with a small child."

"Located in Regent’s Park is ZSL London Zoo, the world’s oldest scientific zoo. It opened in 1828, the brainchild of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, who was also the founder of Singapore. It’s one of the most popular things to do with kids in London, home to plenty of cool creatures."

"Nestled in Battersea Park, this Children’s Zoo may not exactly be big, but that’s part of its charm. They house a range of mammals, reptiles and birds, from farm to smaller exotics animals. With various feeding times, picnic and play areas and children’s rides, this zoo is especially good for the little ones."

"This water-based activity area in Wimbledon is entirely free. Although it’s only open in the summer (July and August), it’s definitely worth a visit. Six paddling pools are available at the interactive splash pad and sprinkler park."

"A real South East London gem, Ladywell Fields is one of London's best parks to visit with or without kids. A lovely little stream to paddle in or jump over, play areas and loads of space to roam or rest."

"This brand new Market Hall has opened in Fulham, one of our favourite new places to grab lunch in 2018. Enter the Underground station of Fulham Broadway and where the old TGI Friday's used to be situated, an amazing market hall has taken its place. And we couldn't think of a better replacement."

"Restaurants Food court Fulham. You know porky barbecue restaurant Pitt Cue?. Well, its co-founder has joined forces with a property investor to open a series of food halls across the city."

"Deciding first place in this countdown of favorite cake and coffee spots was a close run thing between L’Eto and Maison Bertaux. But, in the end, it was while enjoying L’Eto’s orgasmic Pistacho, Rosewater and Raspberry cake in their King’s Road shop that I decided to write this post so it’s only fair to give it top billing. In my cake safari around London, nothing could really top that pistachio cake."

"Angela Hartnett brought Cafe Murano – the charming casual offshoot to her Michelin-starred Italian restaurant – to Bermondsey late last year, and now she’s bringing breakfast with her too. On the weekend, tuck into lighter bites of roasted, thyme-laced mushrooms with focaccia, or cavolo nero and spring onion foccacia. Meaty treats include a chicken Milanese bun stuffed with slow-roasted tomatoes and spicy mayonnaise, and those looking to start with something sweet can enjoy chocolate croissants or a melon and strawberry fruit salad."

"In a nutshell: A third location for Cafe Murano Where is it?. 184 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3TQ Why should you care?. Bermondsey is the next location for Angela Hartnett's Murano spinoff, with classic Italian dishes and cocktails on the menu."
