We're off next weekend. Anything new/exciting for kids there?

For family stuff. Places to visit, outside the usual touristy stuff.

stuff for tourists with kids
natural history museum
London aquarium
kew gardens
tower of London

they are good things to do, but you will be surrounded by plebby tourists. if you want to avoid gawping provincials, try the horniman museum or the Chelsea physic garden, that sort of alternative. otherwise suck up the tourists: they are there because those things are pretty iconic for kids to see. also, you get to see wild parrots at kew.

That Chelsea place looks good.

it's really beautiful, and they do dinner there in the evenings, which is stunning. a well-kept secret.
although the kids might find it boring, depending on their ages. In all honesty, you might be better taking them to regents park for a run-around and then to the zoo, if they are under 10.

Go on a sewer tour.
With any luck you'll be overcome by noxious gases and your desiccated corpses discovered by sewermen days later having been gnawed on by black rats the size of your forearm. The sewermen will turn in your bodies to the authorities, but not until after stripping them of valuables. Nobody will care.

my dad's mate has an old copper mine in his back garden
he used to let us go down there when we were little. not sure what my dad was thinking. probably hoping we'd never come back.

Get in there!
Its worth a fortune now
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 14 Mar 2014, 10:21, Reply)

really?
I assumed they stopped mining it because nobody wanted it any more.

I was clearing out some shit from the garden to take to the tip and took some copper wire to the scrappy
£10 for not very much at all
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 14 Mar 2014, 10:22, Reply)

yeah but going down and chiselling it out with a hammer sounds like a bit more work than going to the scrappy
hmmmmm
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 14 Mar 2014, 10:24, Reply)

yeah you just need to get about 4 different
minerals to combine into the ore, then smelt it and refine it so happy days

if you want some excitment for the kids
I suggest blacking them up and going on a walking tour of Brixton.
