1 / 3PICNIC
📍 Kingston upon Thames, Greater London
Indoor role-play centre with 10 themed areas including a supermarket, fire station, and theatre for children aged 6 and under. Timed sessions, on-site café, and dedicated birthday party hosts available.
We’ve now held both of my sons’ 3rd birthday parties at here, one two years ago and one just last month, and I honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough. Our first experience was so smooth and hassle-free that we knew immediately we’d be returning for our younger son’s big day. From start to finish, the team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Nothing was too much trouble, they set everything up for us and were on hand and checking in with me throughout. They are pros at cutting cakes too - always amazed at how many slices they can get out of a small cake! We self-catered and they still provided plates and forks for the cake which we completely forgot about! Such a thoughtful touch. A special shoutout to Khadra, who communicated with us from the moment we booked, greeted us warmly at the door, explained how the day would run and even gave my little one a voucher as a birthday present. I don't have cons I could say about this place! I only wish my boys would stay little for longer so we could keep booking parties here! It was truly a magical experience - my 3-year-old had the best day of his life. If you’re considering booking a party or even a little session here you really won’t regret it!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families hosting birthday parties for children aged 2-4 — the organisation is seamless and staff handle everything from setup to cake serving, letting parents actually enjoy the celebration. For regular play sessions, expect a more independent experience with less staff interaction.

“We held my son's 2nd birthday party at PICNIC on Sunday and were very impressed with the planning, staff, and setting that PICNIC provides. We had the afternoon session, meaning everything had been tidied and cleaned before we arrived and our private party area was set up. Each child had a little lunch box filled with sandwiches, crisps, juice and some party rings, and we also ordered a fruit platter, which was beautiful arranged. You can bring your own birthday cake which the staff will present and distribute too. The play area was really nicely kept, with props in good condition. My son especially liked the 'building site' area as he is obsessed with diggers! We really enjoyed our time at PICNIC and would recommend it for birthday parties, as well as just a day out.”

“We had a lovely time celebrating our son's 3rd birthday party on Saturday at PICNIC. Planning was a breeze from start to finish, Khadra was extremely helpful and accommodating to our requests, and made it easy to confirm and finalise all the necessary details. On the day the team were welcoming and friendly, and on hand to help with setup. Also, very importantly, they helped us in preparing the cake to present and then cut and serve to our guests. I was actually able to stop and have conversations with guests rather than run around non-stop hosting. They were also super efficient at cleaning up before and after our party. It's a lovely venue to celebrate your little one, the kids had an absolute blast and we look forward to our next visit. Thank you!”

“We celebrated my son’s 2nd birthday here and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very first message, the coordination and communication were seamless — everything was handled with such care and professionalism. The team went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was perfect, and their service on the day was outstanding. Everything ran smoothly, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and they made the whole celebration feel special and effortless. Our guests were impressed, and my son had the most wonderful time — truly a birthday to remember! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-organized, stress-free, and joy-filled event.”
