Carousel in London?

[Pen_esque]

Does anyone know of a carousel in or very near London? I feel the need to take DD on a carousel but don't know where to find one...

There was a carousel next to the Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens the last time we went. Of course, that was a couple of months ago but it looked like a permanent fixture.

hmm, i've seen one on southbank, i wonder if it's still there.

Definitely not one at the Diana Memorial playground anymore. Went there last Friday and no sign of one. Sorry

I have half a feeling that they normally have a carousel near one of the temporary ice rink thingummies at Christmas time (which, as everyone knows, actually starts in mid-October.)

London Zoo has one on the forecourt outside the cafe. They have the full version with the horses and a smaller one with a range of animals. I was on it with my 22mth old last Thursday.

Come to Brighton, we have one on the seafront! Only an hour on the train from Victoria. Found this photo for you - http://brightondaybyday.blogspot.com...-seafront.html

When we take DD to Brighton we'll definitely hit that one. I love Brighton and I've been on that carousel! Sad that London doesn't have one that you can get to without paying admission s'where. Ah well.

Thanks for the replies!

There may have been one on the Southbank once, but it's not there now.
