London is a big place with no shortage of fun family-friendly activities to keep you entertained this half-term. If you’re planning a whistle-stop tour of the capital, you’ll want to make sure you don’t miss out on any gems. Be sure to ask friends and family if they have any recommendations of places you could visit while you’re in town. Here are a few fun things to do in London during February half-term:
Ahoy, Matey!
You can’t take kids to London without calling into the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green. It’s filled with vintage toys that will leave you feeling nostalgic for the good old days. This half-term, A Pirate’s Life For Me at the V&A is the perfect way to entertain your daredevil kids. The interactive pirate ship is sure to be a hit with your swashbuckling kids.
Vintage TV screenings
If you want to introduce your kids to vintage children’s TV, the National Children’s Centre has you covered. They are screening various shows from the good old days during half-term. Best of all, it’s free to attend once you’ve paid entry into the museum. Find out more and plan your magical visit here.
Head to Knight School
If your kids love crafts, roleplay and using their imaginations, they’ll love Knight School at the Tower of London. Interactive, educational and medieval, it’s the perfect way to learn all about this important aspect of London’s history.
Go crazy this half-term
If you don’t have plans you may end up going crazy this half-term, but you can prevent that happening by finding a brilliant activity for all the family. Crazy golf is a fun game for all the family and with plenty of stunning mini-courses across the capital, you should be able to find a venue near you.

Spend time with Charlie Brown this half-term
Charlie Brown is just as cool now as he was in the 1960s, and Snoopy is just as hilarious ever. Head down to Somerset House to take a look at this exhibition. See Charlie Brown, Snoopy and other much-loved characters in all their glory and teach the next generation about this iconic cartoon.
Don’t forget, if the weather is nice during half-term, London has some amazing parks you can visit without having to spend a penny. The Princess Diana Memorial Playground is particularly good, so be sure to drop by if you have an hour or two to kill.
