Blow off steam and the stresses of city life with some of London’s best kidult activities

In a non-stop, high-pressure capital city like London, regressing back to childhood has a lot of appeal. Luckily there are kidult activities in abundance so blowing off steam has never been more fun. From ball pits with bars, to sleepovers and shuffleboard clubs, London is beginning to look a lot like a giant adult playground. Here are a few of our favourites.

Ballie Ballerson is essentially an adult ball pit where you can get bottomless prosecco and spaghetti. The underground club is kitted out with 250k clear balls on an LED dancefloor and the cocktails are even more fun. They are themed around the planets – Neptune is based on charcoal and liquid nitrogen; the helium rich Saturn is garnished with a floating balloon; and Uranus is undrinkable until you’ve eaten the Miracle Berry pill provided. Mess around in the pit and head upstairs to do your worst with two hours of bottomless spaghetti meatballs, prosecco and punch. ballieballerson.com
