We asked Louis Theroux how he actually does family days out in London…
And his answer is surprisingly simple.
Think:
🌳 proper run-around space
🍔 somewhere you can eat without stress
🎳 a few reliable go-to spots
🎭 and one slightly cheeky London life hack
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about doing it better.

Most family days out don’t fail because of the kids…
They fail because we overplan them.
Louis Theroux’s approach is basically:
✔ start with space (park / walk)
✔ add one thing for you (food, coffee, culture)
✔ then let the kids lead the rest
A few of his go-to ideas:
– Richmond Park + food nearby
– South Bank wander + easy lunch
– Kew Gardens or bowling when you need a win
– And a very cheeky free theatre trick we love
