This Friday 17th October, I went to Kenwood House for the opening of their Halloween at Kenwood Trail, and I have to say – it was truly spooky! Even the little ones were scared!
For me, the fright actually started before I even arrived… I decided to take the woodland path to reach the house, and suddenly it was pitch black. I honestly felt like Little Red Riding Hood wandering through the dark woods – scaaarryyyy!
Once inside the grounds, I was greeted by a magical and eerie atmosphere. The sounds, the lights, and the decorations were absolutely superb – every detail perfectly crafted to give you a little shiver. But the headless horse-riding knight in a flowing black cape stole the show – chillingly brilliant!

London’s most iconic landmarks attract millions of visitors each year, creating queues that can test even the most patient parent’s resolve. The Tower of London, with its thousand-year history and dazzling Crown Jewels, ranks among the capital’s busiest attractions. This is especially common during school holidays when families arrive in large numbers.
Navigating historic sites with children requires strategy, especially when little ones have limited patience for lengthy queues and crowded spaces. Many parents find themselves rushing through exhibits, missing the fascinating stories behind ancient walls and royal treasures. The experience often becomes more about crowd management than meaningful discovery.
