This large playground set in the grounds of Kensington Gardens is wonderful for children of all ages. Its free to get in. It is based on a Peter Pan and has a full scale pirate ship, wigwams, and lots more to swing, climb, slide and make music on. It is certainly a good morning or afternoons activity. It opens at 10am and shuts at different times depending on the time of year. (This can be quite early in mid winter). There is a cafe but it's quite expensive and the food average.
