LondonKidz Button on Google Toolbar

Have a look at the local buttons gallery on the new Google toolbar for perhaps the easiest way for Londonkidz users to keep up with happenings on our site.
Download the latest Google toolbar. It has lots of good features, blocking popups of course and much more. One feature is that you can add a LondonKidz button.

From that button you can see a drop-down list of a selection of the latest happenings and can go straight to that item on our site.
