Little Scandinavian visiting Tate Modern

October 19, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

Tate Modern is a must visit on a regular basis, offering a range of free activities for kids.
There is the weekend Session for families in addition to special events for half term. There is also a Family Zone open during gallery hours with fun activities. You can also get hold of a Children’s Multimedia Guide to Tate Modern to get more out of your visit.

Our Little Scandinavians seems to enjoy it all but better than anything is the delicious hot chocolate in the top floor restaurant combined with the spectacular view -nothing beats that!

Karine’s Kids at Camden Market, London

July 26, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

Camden Market as we know it dates back to the early 70s and has since then attracted large numbers of Londoners and tourists because of the character and quality of the goods on sale and also of the uniqueness of the location. Boat trips and walks along the canal, or just watching the barges pass through the lock gates are still important parts of the attraction of Camden Lock.

Recently the Stables Market has been much extended with a wealth of new traders in the area of the old Catacombs and Arches at the north end. This has made a visit to Camden Market even more fascinating with international traders in well-lit new shop units offering products of an amazing variety.

One shop I would love to recommend to you is Karine’s Kids. Karine makes and sell hand knitted toys, children’s wear and funky t-shirts inspired by her heritage from Scandinavia and in peticular Norway where she’s from.
You’ll also find WEE children’s clothes, designed and handmade in England, among the range.

Karina’s charming stall is located in Camden Lock Market, West Yard. Open every weekend from 10am to 6pm.
