Welcome to the August 2025 edition of our posts on free things to do in London with kids! Here we round up a selection of free things to do in London in August 2025!
Before we dive in, please note that while all activities listed here are free to attend, some may require advance booking or free tickets to manage capacity. We strongly recommend checking the official websites of any venues or events you’re interested in before making your journey, as opening times and entry requirements can change.
Please be aware that we are not affiliated with any of the venues, organisations, or events mentioned in this guide. We don’t specifically endorse any particular activity – every family is different, and what works brilliantly for one might not suit another. This guide aims to help you discover new possibilities, but the final choice of activities should always be based on your family’s interests, children’s ages, and comfort levels.
We know that lots of events require pre-booking and can fill up quickly, which is why we’ve published this post early. We will keep adding to it as more free things to do are released. So do keep checking back!
