January 2013 – we’re off again and good old London Town is still whirring with a plethora of events for kids. Make the first month of the year an exciting one, and it may be advised to make sure your sledge is still in good order, or invest in a new one, as the weather forecast certainly promises a snowy horizon. Dive in here to avoid the cold, or wrap up and find outdoorsy fun.
Even though we check all events listed we suggest you always contact any event beforehand to confirm it is still on. Please also mention kidsfunlondon.
