A family guide to Westminster

Genuinely free places and activities for a family day out without an entry fee.

Westminster is full of free family experiences, many of them pop-ups. LEGO Chalet of Play is a free pop-up LEGO event with games, building activities and photo opportunities, and the LEGO Store hosted a free LEGO Fan Zone in Leicester Square, with a build-your-own football shirt and LEGO passports with unique football stamps. At Selfridges on Oxford Street, a Confetti Spectacle brings characters, confetti and a choir. For art, W1 Curates at Flannels is a free digital-art exhibition space in the basement of the Oxford Street flagship store, with rotating installations. Somerset House hosts events and installations, including summer fountains and art exhibits, and Frieze Sculpture Trail in Regent's Park and Saatchi Yates are also listed. Outdoors, St James Park has views of Buckingham Palace, and Victoria Embankment Gardens is a peaceful public garden that is in full bloom with tulips in spring. Paddington Recreation Ground, Hamleys and Merchants Square complete the list. Genuinely free places and activities for a family day out without an entry fee.
