London Restaurants
Recommendations for restaurants in London that we have been to with children and had a good time! These aren’t necessarily restaurants “for kids” but rather great restaurants where the team have been very welcoming and we’d be happy to take our kids to again.

UK Days Out
London
Jesse’s House, Parsons Green
A private members’ club specifically designed for young families. It transformed my maternity leave experience when it opened and has been amazing ever since for it’s great soft play area, classes for both adults and children, and wonderful creche team.
Fulham Palace, Hammersmith & Fulham
Beautiful gardens for little ones to run around in. I also love the events they hold throughout the year including Apple Day (think harvest festival with street food, loads of fresh produce, music and children’s entertainment) and outdoor theatre productions in the summer.
