Things to do with kids in Camden

Camden packs an unusual amount into a small stretch of north London, and a good deal of it is built for curious children. The British Museum anchors the area. Coram's Fields is the one locals guard: a children's park with large play areas, sandpits and green space for picnics, where adults can only enter accompanied by a child, which makes it a genuinely calm place to let small ones run. When the weather turns hot, Parliament Hill Lido is an outdoor pool worth the walk. The area also does immersive experiences properly. Space Explorers: The ISS Experience puts you inside a full-scale virtual space station, floating alongside real astronauts with the Earth turning below. Eclipso London walks you through ancient Rome to meet gladiators and explore the arena. Outernet London, by Tottenham Court Road station, is free and full of immersive lights and digital visuals, which makes it a useful place to stop and rest while the kids stay entertained. Theatre runs through it all, with Matilda The Musical among the family shows, and The Traitors: Live Experience running family sessions for ages 12 and over alongside its adult nights.
