Looking for family-friendly things to do in South East London? There’s plenty to choose from, ranging from museums to city farms and adventure playgrounds. Here are some of our favourite spots in South East:

The boroughs of Greenwich and Southwark are great starting points when exploring South East London, with a good mix of green areas, historical attractions and attractive new developments. For active days out, the Thames Path from Tower Bridge towards Greenwich is well shielded from traffic and great for both scooting and cycling. If you’re looking for animal encounters we recommend a visit to Surrey Docks Farm, and for more exotic creatures check out the Horniman Museum.
