If you’re looking for activities to keep the kids entertained over the last few weeks of the holidays, there are plenty of fun things to do in St Johns Wood. From a visit to watch the cricket at Lords, to arts and crafts at the coolest local hangouts, there’s something for everyone. Here are 5 places we will be visiting:

Visit The Home of Cricket

Each year hundreds of thousands of spectators from all over the world flock Lords to watch the cricket at the iconic grounds. Go online to book a ticket and make a day of it. On match days there are plenty of activities to spectate or get involved in. In the morning you can take a peek into the players morning training sessions, where you’ll be able to see the team go through their warm-up routines and net practices ahead of the day’s play. Or even head over to the Media Centre and you may be lucky enough to get a quick selfie or autograph of your favorite player –  a dream come true for any budding cricketers. There are also plenty of options for food or visitors are welcomed to bring their own picnics which you can enjoy at one of the picnic locations. 

Top Tip: To experience a ‘picnic’ like no other, why not pre-order the delicious Made In Oldstead picnic hampers, created by Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks exclusively for Lord’s. Michelin-inspired treats for all-day feasting!

Explore The Canals

With the weather looking great for the next few weeks, why not explore London by canal.

It makes for a beautiful walk or keep the kids entertained by hopping on a narrowboat or paddling via kayak.

Strike A Pose At The Abbey Road Crossing
