  • The Summer Pavilion – Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens

      Every year I excitedly await the opening of the Summer Pavilion, a programme involving a sequence of world-class architects transforming the space outside the Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens into a temporary Pavilion. This year’s efforts are by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei. It is the first time the Pavilion has been partly…

  • “This Is Not A House” At The Wapping Project

        Today we took to the Wapping Project housed in the Wapping Hydraulic Power Station to see This is not a House by Edgar Martins (A series of photographs exploring the collapse of the US housing market and the sub-prime mortgage crisis.) and enjoy lunch in the sunlit industrial space. Wapping is part of London’s Docklands but feels quite…

  • The Obliteration Room at The Tate Modern

      (We already blogged about the original Obliteration Room here and now it’s at the Tate!)

We bumped into friends whose one…

Exhibitions aside, there are multiple play stations dotted across the floors –…

  • Victoria & Albert Museum – London

    Entrance to the museum with impressive sculpture installation overhead Although not as close to our three-year old’s heart as the V&A’s Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green (currently her favourite museum in London), our daughter does enjoy a trip to the V&A in particular tearing around the John Madejski Garden, digging into the children’s Activity…

    This little snuggle of bunnies resides in Spitalfields, London; a vibrant area on the eastern edge of the City that also houses the Spitalfields Markets, St John Bread & Wine, Verde and some other truly scrumptious independent stores. Said bunnies are adored by children and our daughter considers riding them a highlight of any trip…

  • Caramel Baby & Child

    I was delighted to come across British label, Caramel Baby & Child at Playtime New York. Designer Eva Karayiannis started off as a lawyer and became a designer when she started Caramel Baby & Child and we’re so glad she did. Their Fall/Winter 2011 collection is exquisite, relaxed, understated, yet chic with little surprises here…

  • THE TATE MODERN-LONDON

    This post is from my friend, Michelle in London. The Tate Modern is one of the most child-friendly places in London. Even getting there is a treat: crossing the Millenium Bridge with St Paul’s behind you, the Thames below you and the Tate just ahead. Children love the main entry into the Turbine Hall –…
