Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find SEN-friendly days out in London?
Every venue on SenLens is scored for how manageable it is for children with autism, ADHD and sensory needs. Highly rated London venues include Coda Falconry (Hounslow), Sutton Community Farm, Surrey Docks Farm (Southwark), Mudchute Park & Farm (Tower Hamlets), and the Horniman Museum (Lewisham).

What are good days out in London for toddlers?
Toddlers love soft play centres for safe indoor fun, working farms where they can meet animals up close, and gentle parks with dedicated toddler play areas. London has plenty of all three - from farm parks across the county to soft play centres in its major towns.
Are there free days out in London with kids?
London is one of the best cities anywhere for free family days out. The national museums - the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, V&A, British Museum, Tate Modern, Tate Britain and Imperial War Museum - are all free. So are the royal parks (Hyde Park, Greenwich Park, Richmond Park, Regent's Park), most city farms, and gems like the Horniman Museum and the RAF Museum London.
What can I do with kids in London on a rainy day?
Don't let the weather stop you! London has loads of indoor venues to keep the kids entertained - soft play centres, trampoline parks, escape rooms, indoor climbing walls, bowling alleys, interactive museums, and cinema/entertainment complexes. Perfect for those classic British rainy days.
Do London attractions offer carer free entry?
