When heading to London, Wembley is a great place to visit with the family. Located in the northwest of the city, it’s packed with fun activities to enjoy for all ages. Here are some great ideas for family-friendly outings.
1. Visit Wembley Park
You don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy what London has to offer. Wembley Park has often been described as one of the city’s most vibrant and exciting neighbourhoods, with everything from festive markets to interactive workshops at Wembley Square keeping visitors entertained. The area also has a vibrant street art scene for those interested in the work of various artists, as well as Wembley Park Gardens or Wembley Park Green if the little ones want to run around or enjoy a relaxing picnic in the great outdoors.
2. Catch Starlight Express
One of the season’s unmissable shows, Starlight Express is playing at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre. Performed entirely on roller skates, this hit show is the perfect way to introduce kids to musical theatre. With upbeat numbers and plenty of high-energy action, it’s a great day out for the whole family. And why not grab a pre- or post-theatre meal at Studio Five, one of the best places to eat in Wembley? Located within the theatre complex, we offer a selection of bold dishes made with the freshest ingredients, and a relaxed, child-friendly setting.
3. Curl up in Wembley Library
If you live with bookworms who can’t wait to explore the latest authors and titles, then a stop at Wembley Library is a must. Located at the Brent Civic Centre in the heart of Wembley Park, this is the perfect place to get lost for a couple of hours. The children’s library is located on the ground floor, with regular events also taking place here throughout the year.
4. See the SSE Arena, Wembley
While the SSE Arena is a hot spot for concerts and iconic sports events, the area around offers plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the iconic Wembley Arch. There’s also a really nice playground for youngsters surrounded by shops, cafes, independent vendors and more for the whole family.
5. Discover Brent Reservoir
While London is often associated with skyscrapers, big red buses, and hugely populated tourist attractions, there are more tranquil areas to explore if you head out of the city centre. The Brent Reservoir, also known as the Welsh Harp, is a large area of water surrounded by wildlife and scenic walking trails. It’s a great spot for bird watching and picnicking, so if you and the kids love being outdoors in nature, it’s ideal.
