If you\u2019re looking online for school holiday activities in London, and ideas for kids that love tech, gaming or gadgets, FunTech has to be on your shortlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FunTech has been teaching kids and teens since 1996 and have thousands of parent reviews which average at 97% in terms of recommending our school holiday activities. We run day camps in London<\/a> where tech is taught in a structured, exciting way, but the atmosphere still feels like a holiday club. Kids can make new friends, play games at lunch, have lots of laughs, and leave with a huge sense of achievement by Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best part for London families? You can mix and match:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some parents start their kids online with a virtual holiday camp in Easter, then switch things up with a day camp or residential stay during the long summer break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For London parents searching for school holiday activities, FunTech ticks all the boxes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It all adds up to a school holiday activity that feels like a treat for kids and a practical solution for parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Easter and shorter breaks, many London families like the simplicity of virtual camps. No travel. No packed lunches. Just a laptop, a headset, and a quiet space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FunTech\u2019s virtual courses page<\/a> shows the full line-up, but here\u2019s a taste of what\u2019s on offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Great for younger children who already love Minecraft. Kids use tools such as MCreator to design their own blocks, tools, armour and creatures. They pick up logic and problem-solving skills while creating a customised version of their favourite game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For Roblox fans, FunTech has two clear paths:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These camps are very popular as school holiday ideas in London because kids already love the platform – FunTech simply channels that interest into real skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Python Coder introduces one of the most widely used programming languages from scratch: variables, loops, decisions, lists and more. Then Python OOP takes things further with classes, objects and more advanced projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For high-ability tweens and teens, this can be a great Easter project that also supports future GCSE or A-Level Computer Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Older kids can explore game engines such as Unity or Unreal, learning how scenes, physics, assets and scripts all fit together to make the games they play every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, you don\u2019t need to pick from this list alone. Parents can scroll all current options on the FunTech holiday courses page<\/a> and filter by age, date and format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For summer holiday activities in London, many families like their child to get out of the house, meet new friends face-to-face and burn off some energy at lunch and break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FunTech runs in-person and Flexi tech camps in six London locations<\/a><\/strong>, all reachable by public transport: Barbican, Hammersmith, Northwood, Richmond, Westminster and Wimbledon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Each centre offers a choice of coding, game dev and robotics courses, with the same small class sizes, structured breaks and FunTech tutors as the virtual camps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a quick overview of each London location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barbican<\/a> hosts FunTech at Prior Weston School. Camps run 9:00am\u20135:00pm, with early drop-off from 8:30am and late pick-up to 5:30pm. Kids have structured screen breaks, outdoor play in good weather and a full hour for lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a handy base for families near the City of London, Shoreditch, Islington and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In West London, Hammersmith<\/a> camps run at Latymer Upper School. The timetable is similar: 9:00am\u20135:00pm days, optional early and late wrap-around care, and FunTech\u2019s typical small groups with DBS-checked, First Aid trained tutors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Parents working in central or west London often pick this site so they can handle drop-off on the commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Northwood<\/a> uses Merchant Taylors\u2019 Senior School, again with 9:00am\u20135:00pm days, optional extended hours, small classes and lots of outdoor time during breaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It suits families seeking school holiday activities in outer North London and nearby Hertfordshire who still want a London FunTech hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Richmond<\/a>, camps run at King\u2019s House School. The format mirrors other sites: five full days, supervised breaks, physical games at lunchtime and time to relax with new friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For many parents searching for school holiday activities in London near or in the Richmond and Twickenham area, this has become a favourite tech option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Westminster<\/a> centre is at Westminster City School, close to major transport links. Kids can pick from around 17 tech courses here, with the familiar FunTech structure, small classes and outdoor time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a good pick if you\u2019re based in central or south-central London or commuting into Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Wimbledon<\/a>, camps run at King\u2019s College School, Wimbledon Common, again 9:00am\u20135:00pm with early and late options. Kids can choose from around a dozen tech courses and enjoy spacious school grounds during breaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This works well for families in Merton, Wandsworth and parts of Surrey who still want school holiday activities in London but the south-west area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For older children and teens, you might be looking for school holiday ideas beyond the city. FunTech\u2019s residential tech camps at Tonbridge School in Kent are a popular choice for London families ready for a full week away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Key points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Courses include favourites like Python Coder, Minecraft Mod Developer, Roblox Lua Coder, Unity Game Coder, A.I. Machine Learning and Cyber Security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For many London families, this becomes the \u201cbig\u201d summer holiday activity: a chance for their child to gain independence, make friends from across the UK and abroad, and come home buzzing with stories and new tech skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
