Discover Children’s Story Centre

If you’ve got a toddler who won’t sit still for a regular museum, this place is genuinely worth the trip. The whole building is built around stories and imaginative play, with interactive exhibits that kids aged 2–5 actually want to touch and mess around with — not just look at. There’s a slide, some musical bits to bang on, and the outdoor story garden is a proper highlight, spaceship included. It’s an urban spot so don’t expect wide open fields, but the garden punches above its weight for the size. Baby changing is on site too, which, honestly, makes all the difference when you’re out for the day in east London.
