Hi Sophie

You could try the Burghley Road under 5s Community Centre ( www.burghleyroadplayspace.com) just a bus ride down Green lanes towards Turnpike Lane it's open as a drop-in / stay-and-play space both morning and afternoon. If you do manage to get there in time a cheap hot lunch is prepared by the volunteers/users. For under three's they have a Monday afternoon "Jolly Babies" session

We had enormous fun there when our two were tiny ... and made friends we still see! It's a really lovely place with a great history - a charity which has been independently run by volunteers for about 20 years now.

Hello

I second Richard's suggestion of Burghley road - it's great. Also, a couple of groups up at Pages Lane http://www.mhmc.org.uk/pages/childrens-activities.htm towards Muswell Hill....it's been a while since I went there but they were always very welcoming and open to everyone.

How old is your baby? Up to six months, you can go to Tiny Talk at Pages Lane on Tuesday afternoons. It's a couple of quid (I think? It's two years since I used to go) which gets you tea and biscuits, and some songs on the guitar.

Hi Sophie

the local mums group runs a parent & baby/toddler session every Thursday afternoon at 128 Myddleton Rd, 2.30-4.30pm.  
No specific organised activities, just a few toys and a safe environment for the babies to explore whilst you get  the opportunity to meet other local parents over tea & biscuits!  

Ideal if both of you need a change of scenery and some social contact but don't want to venture too far afield...
