Ezra’s already bugging me about what he’ll wear for the scary season. Our Halloween in London guide will be out next week and Half-Term guide coming soon too.
In the meantime, check out all the fun activities for kids in London happening in October. So many things to do with your baby or toddler (and of course the bigger babes), with plenty to entertain mum and dad throughout. Happy Autumn!

Calendar Cutie
We couldn’t decide on which cover star to feature so we used both! Brothers Rumi (4) and Tristan (just 18 weeks at the time of this shot) are the little boys to proud Natalie. Rumi was our Calendar Cutie back when he was a mere nipper. How time flies!
Send in your favourite photos of your babes (ages 5 and under) for a chance to be our next Calendar Cutie and be entered into a prize draw! Email photos and a short description to editor@babesabouttown.com
