Code Kids Wimbledon (King’s College School)
BEST FOR
Ages 7+
WHERE
London
What it’s like
Kids build robots, code games and mod Minecraft across a stack of tech, held at King's College School in Wimbledon.
This one's less "sit and learn syntax" and more "pick your gadget". A session might have your child programming a Sphero robot to navigate an obstacle course, coding a Micro:bit, building an arcade-style game with its own characters, or getting into Roblox and Minecraft modding. There's also stop motion animation, VR coding, and Makey Makey builds with Scratch, so the format changes even if the venue doesn't.
It runs from King's College School in Wimbledon, weekdays 9am to 6pm and weekend mornings 9am to 12pm, which suggests short weekend sessions and longer weekday blocks though the site doesn't break down exact session lengths. Kids need to be 7 or over, which makes sense once you see the range on offer: Python and app development aren't really a five-year-old's game.
Robotics fans get proper kit to play with, VEXcode and Sphero and Cozmo all feature, and that's probably the bit an older kid remembers over the coding-on-a-laptop stuff. Birthday parties and group bookings are both on offer, so if your child's obsessed with Minecraft or Roblox, a party built around that isn't a stretch.

Plan your visit
What age is this for?
Seven and up. The mix of Python, app development and game design needs kids who are already reading and typing comfortably.
What will my child actually do?
Depends on the session, robotics with VEXcode or Sphero, Micro:bit coding, building arcade games, Minecraft or Roblox modding, stop motion animation, or VR coding. It's a proper spread of tech rather than one fixed activity.
What are the opening hours?
Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, weekends 9am to 12pm.
Can we book a birthday party there?
Yes, birthday parties are listed as an option alongside group bookings.
Is this a one-off session or a course?
The listed activities read like a rotating set, robotics one visit, game design or Minecraft another, so it's worth asking which topic is running before you go.
Where is it held?
At King's College School in Wimbledon.
