A family guide to Tower Hamlets

Keep a rainy day in Tower Hamlets feeling like an adventure with indoor places for families.

Tower Hamlets rewards a soggy afternoon with several things nobody could do outdoors anyway. XP Tavern is a social gaming lounge: 15 next-gen consoles, 25 high-spec PCs and dedicated bays. The Cube borrows from the TV format, sending teams into challenge rooms to earn points and climb a leaderboard, with a trendy bar and food alongside. ROE puts on a chef-led pizza class for children and lets them build a dessert, which beats a rainy stroll by the river. Kinboru runs a hands-on pottery class drawn from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, best with older children. The Murder Express stages a murder mystery over dinner, again suited to older ones. Young V&A charges nothing to enter and gets busy, so an earlier arrival helps. Escape London Whitechapel is a chain, and its Witchcraft & Wizardry theme is the obvious pick when the pavement outside is soaked.
