Your Guide to Summer Holiday Survival

Summer holidays are here, and if you're wondering how to keep the kids entertained for six whole weeks without losing your mind, Westfield London has you sorted. From action-packed activities and creative workshops to treats, toys, and the kind of fun that actually tires them out, we've got everything you need to make this summer one they'll actually remember. 

Action & Adventure 

Kick things off with some serious energy-burning at Activate, where kids can climb, jump, and compete their way through high-tech challenges that'll have them buzzing for hours. For something a little more chilled (but still exciting), Vue has all the summer blockbusters lined up – perfect for when you need a cool, dark room and two hours of peace. And if they're still bouncing off the walls, TOCA Social brings interactive football games, great food, and family-friendly competition that doesn't require any actual football skills. Everyone wins. 

Treats & Eats 

Keeping kids fed during the holidays can feel like a full-time job, but Westfield London has plenty of food options to keep everyone happy. Whether it's a post-activity snack or a proper sit-down meal, there's something for every craving – from quick bites to family favourites that actually get everyone around the table. 

Toys, Games & All the Good Stuff 

Hamleys – the world-famous toy shop – brings live demos, games, and enough excitement to make every visit feel like an event. KENJI has adorable plushies and quirky gifts, MINISO is perfect for pocket-money treats, and POP MART delivers collectible art toys and blind boxes that make every visit a surprise. 

For school supplies that don't feel boring, Smiggle has colourful stationery and accessories that actually make them excited about September. The Entertainer is stocked with the latest toys, games, and puzzles, while The Works has books, art supplies, and creative kits for every age and interest. 

A Moment to Recharge 

When it all gets a bit much (and it will), step into our Sensory Room – a calm, inclusive space designed to help children and families relax and reset during their visit. Sometimes, a quiet moment is exactly what everyone needs. 

For You 

Because summer holidays aren't just about keeping the kids entertained – they're also about surviving them in style. While they're busy at workshops or burning off energy, treat yourself to a little self-care. Refresh your wardrobe at H&M or Zara, upgrade your skincare routine at Space NK or Aesop, or browse the latest tech and gadgets at Apple, John Lewis, or Currys. You've earned it.
