children can use the garden. Juice and a snack are included in £3-fee and there is a special Shabbat session on Friday, when
available. 268 bus is close.
10-12, 1- 3:45pm One O'Clock Club: (In the Heath just down from the playground.) Indoor-outdoor
toys, sandpit, painting, crafts and singing. The train track opposite the centre provides endless entertainment. For
£1, it's a bargain. C11 bus is close.

corner, arts and crafts, playdough. C11, 46 and 268 bus are close.*NB There might be some schedule changes as of Christmas.
Singing:
9:30 and 11am sessions: Songsters with Neal: Fleet Community Centre on Fleet Rd. Guitar-accompanied
old favorites. www.greenmeansgo.co.uk c11 and 46 bus drop off in front coming from kentish town but you need to walk to South End Green to go towards Hampstead.
You can also pick up the 168 in South End Green.
Rhymes and Stories:
11-12pm Chalk Farm Library: Sharpeshall Street, NW1 8YN (0207 974 6526). The C11 and 168 are nearby
but I wouldn't say near.
10:30-11:30 Heath Street Library (0207 974 6520) Keats Grove NW3 2RR. South End Green is a short distance.
168, C11, 24 and 46.
Soft Play:
9:30-12:30 Babygym and Treetops SoftPlay at Talacre Community Sports Centre:
Dalby Street, NW5 0207 974 8765 ( www.camden.gov.uk/sport). Wildly popular "baby gym" program where the child/ren attend with parent/carer. Under-5s only in the morning session
and there is a dedicated baby corner. You can buy a combination tickets and do both activities or just pay for one. Baby gym
sessions at 9:30 and 10:30. 46 bus drops you in front and 24 bus is close.
10-6pm Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre Soft Play or "Rascals." Adelaide Road, 0207 974 2012. Large
soft-play climbing frame. It's much better to go in the morning before the big children arrive because unlike Treetops,
visibility is nil and big people have a hard time getting around. C11, 46 and 268 bus are not far.

rockers and soft-play equipment. Monday, Wednesday 10:15 to 11, 11 to 11:45. Sunday 9:15 to 10 and 10:45 to 11:30.
While anybody can go, I hear it's quite hard to get in as Swiss Cottage Centre members get first priority. Please let me know
if that's not a problem.
Swimming:
3:30-4:30 Swiss Cottage Pool (Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre, Adelaide Road, 0207
974 2012) Warm teaching pool and clean changing rooms, though buggy parking is a bit of a pain. The main pool
is too cold for babies and even toddlers scream after five minutes, so best call to make sure the teaching
pool is open. C11, 46 and 268 are not far.
