About CRIBTON
London parent intel. The crib sheet for getting out with kids.
You had a life before kids. You still have one now.
Restaurants, music, culture, hidden gems. Becoming a parent doesn't mean losing the things that make you, you. It just means bringing someone new along for the ride.
CRIBTON makes discovering London with little ones easier, with useful local intel, interesting places and practical details that help you get out and enjoy the city.
Hi, I'm Dan. The person behind CRIBTON.
I've always been the one who knows what's going on.
From living in Tokyo and New York to working in fashion and trend forecasting, discovering what's next and bringing people together has always been my thing.
Then I became a mum.
Having navigated my own mental health challenges, I knew how important getting out, staying connected and having things to look forward to could be for my wellbeing. But finding out what was happening locally was harder than it should have been.
So I started sharing discoveries with other parents — from baby-friendly comedy and wine tastings to raves at Fabric and Wilderness Festival. Proof that life with a baby could still include the things I loved.
Four hot toddlers. One closed splash pad.
During a heatwave, I shared a tip that a local splash pad was open. We arrived to find it closed.
Four sweaty toddlers. One locked gate.
I started a WhatsApp group so parents could share live updates. Nearly 700 people joined in a weekend.
That was the spark for CRIBTON: useful, reliable local information that doesn't get lost in the group chat.
Parenthood, without losing yourself.
Stay-and-play sessions and library Wiggle and Rhyme? Absolutely. But also good food, music, exhibitions, comedy and places you'd want to visit anyway.
Some things are for the kids. Some are for you. The best ones might be for both.
Kids can be part of the plan without always having to be the entire plan.
Welcome to CRIBTON.
