Trying to think of something good to do with our youngest daughter (she's 4) as we have a Monday together just the two of us in a few weeks and I'd like to make the most of it before she starts school and it happens less and only during busy weekends and holidays etc.
Probably in London, we've been to the normal NH Museum & Science Museum before.
Any good ideas?

Shrek World is next door if she likes Shrek. Ive not been there but it seemed very popular last week.

I second that. Greenwich has to be one of my favourite places. Best view in London from up by the Wolfe statue.
Then at the Southbank there's the aquarium.
Then go to and up the Monument.
DLR, front seat, back to SE London from Bank.
Greenwich - Maritime Museum and/or Greenwich Park.
If you want a cheap lunch detour to Govinda's in Soho Square.
Went last year with 7 and 5 year old and they loved it.
4 years need quality time and interaction more than anything else. Good luck
My experience was queuing for an hour for something that lasted a little longer than an hour. Then the 3d bus ride which was great but probably 5mins before you crash and kill a witch meaning that you go into a story where her mates are chasing you for an hour which just scared my 4 year old girl.
amazingly, the first time we saw Shrek was right at the very end when out pops a bloke dressed as Shrek as you are walking out so you can have your picture taken with him and pay them more money to buy it afterwards.
would definitely recommend The Thames Clipper, the Acquarium, Hornimans. Probably too your but Battersea Park has a good playground, pizza parlour, high ropes, plus loads of space to run in. Mine also like Mudchute farm
Hornimans is winning so far I think, not least because they have an enormous rabbit and my daughter is bunny obsessed.
In some places it looks like it's a museum of Victorian taxidermy. Bad Victorian taxidermy. Not quite foxes sitting in deckchairs or playing the banjo, but not too far off it.
Crystal Palace farm is small but decent and free and could be paired with Hornimans if you have a car, plus there are some dinosaurs to look at in the park, a playground and used to be peddelos.
neither Mudchute or CP farm beat the likes of Godstone farm, Hobbledown (Epsom) or the best in good weather, Drusilla’s (down near the coast) which is excellent - think zoo/fair ground rides/water park/adventure playground.
How did it go, Neil? Did you visit the Horniman's? How did it go down?
My kids love sitting at the front of the DLR, still young enough to believe they are driving it if you tell them to push the handrail at the right time too.
