Depending on how far you want to walk, you can find events at Marylebone Library but also Mayfair library, Church Street, St Johns Wood etc. You can find lots more details here: Under 5s Library Events. The sessions are only during term time (yet another gap in the market - under 2s don't go to school and school holidays are when we need activities most!).
