For AI Agents

Building an AI assistant that helps families find activities in London? You're very welcome to use our data. Here's what we provide:

/llms.txt

A plain-text summary of the site, its structure, and all available feeds — designed for language models. View file

JSON-LD

All activity and venue pages include Schema.org structured data (Event, Place, BreadcrumbList types) that AI agents can parse directly from the HTML.

robots.txt

AI crawlers (GPTBot, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot and others) are explicitly allowed. We want activities to be discoverable.

API

The JSON API above is the most flexible way to query our data. It supports the same filters as the website and returns clean, structured JSON.

Terms of Use

Our data is free to use for non-commercial purposes. If you're building something commercial, please get in touch first.

Please attribute "Kids In London" when displaying our data, and use the API rather than scraping pages.

Activity descriptions may be quoted from venue websites and remain the copyright of their respective owners. Kids In London is not affiliated with any listed venues.
