November can feel like an in-between month in London: half term is over, Christmas is on the horizon, and the weather isn’t always on our side. I actually love November as it’s my birthday month and bonfire night brings back some really happy memories of childhood. Despite in being so in-betweeny there’s still plenty of things to do in London with kids in November. The month brings spectacular fireworks, new exhibitions, family theatre and some excellent indoor days out, plus ideas for babies and toddlers as it’s that month when there are no actual school holidays.
I’ve also included a few Christmas experiences worth booking now before the most popular dates go. For everything else festive, you can head to my Christmas 2026 guide.
If you’re looking for October half term events only, everything is listed here.

Outdoor Attractions, Parks and Gardens
Kew Explorer Land Train

Anya’s Grotto
What to expect: Anya’s Grotto in Anya’s Village in Belgravia has long been one of my favourite Santa experiences in London.
It’s so much more than just saying hi to Father Christmas and receiving a present. Children enter through the shop, where you can browse the baubles and gingerbread, before heading downstairs with a cheeky elf for an immersive storytelling adventure. Along the way they complete festive tasks before eventually finding Santa in a beautifully decorated icy wonderland filled with distinctive Anya touches. The experience lasts around 30 minutes and includes a gift for each child.
