Zzzzz ….

The problems with the main Little Legends site are ongoing so apologies!

However, if you are looking for something to do with the kids in London then why not check out the Kids London Guide.

Keep Calm and Carry On!

Things on the main site are still not fixed and it doesn’t look as if they will be for a while so apologies!

Nevertheless, the blog will continue …

Server Problems :(

Sorry about the hiccups here recently. Our host decided to migrate Littlelegends to another server and this means that the majority of the site is not working :(

We are working with them to sort it out as soon as possible!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I can’t believe another year has gone by and it will soon be 2009. This just a quick message to say thank you to everyone who has supported the site and contributed via adding places and commenting. This is what Littlelegends is all about.

So, what’s in store for 2009? Well, there is a plan underway and as soon as the groundwork has been set I will let you know a bit more. There is no point ruining the surprise ;)

Happy holiday!

Where to see Father Christmas in London 2008

If you want to see Father Christmas in London this year, you had better pull a finger out because the Harrods Grotto is already fully booked! However, there are still other magical wonderlands that you can visit:

Hamleys Toy Shop

A special Santas Grotto at Hamleys is offering children a breakfast (at 9.30am) or tea (at 3pm)with Santa up until Christmas Eve. However, tickets need to be booked in advance and cost a whopping £35! Nevertheless, it will be an experience they will remember with gingerbread biscuits to decorate and a special goody bag for each child. A maximum of 16 children per breakfast/tea are allowed and all children must be aged 3 or over.

Family Christmas Carol Concerts in London

I recently wrote a list for Metrotwin about some of the best upcoming Christmas Carol concerts in London (although it was published under the name of the editor Candice due to a bug!)… anyway, there are several concerts in the capital that you might consider taking your children to:

Carol Singing Around the Courtyards at Hampton Court
This annual singalong of festive songs takes place in the magical palace courtyards and gardens of Hampton Court. Your voices will be accompanied by a silver band. Words booklets will be provided and the event will last for about an hour. As this is an outdoor event remember to wrap up warmly and bring a torch to see the words by! The carol singing will take place from 20th to 23rd December at 6pm daily. Due to popularity, you will need to pre-book tickets. Have fun!

Mother of three, Georgiana Walsh, has recently written a book to tackle this subject called How to Find Childcare You Will Love
