6 Things To Do in Bow This Weekend

With a heatwave taking the UK by storm, many families are planning fun-filled family time and looking for new ways to spend the weekend. The summer is all about experiences for everyone and, fortunately, Bow has it going on! Here are some ideas you might want to consider if you live in Bow.

Finding Treasure

Pack your sunscreen and head to St Katherine Docks for a self-guided themed Treasure Trail with the kids! They'll have to put their thinking caps on to solve clues and locate the missing treasure! There are some fantastic locations and views for the adults to enjoy while the children solve the puzzles. The best part? You can do it all on your own time - download the PDF of the trail and complete at your leisure!

Gaming Arcade

If you'd prefer to stay indoors and out of the rays, consider heading to South Bank to Electric Gamebox London. This immersive gaming experience offers aims to make gaming social and offers something for everyone, from sci fi quests with aliens to recuing the Queen's corgis! With Stranger Things giving arcade fun a boost, we expect it to be popular!
