Aren't most of the museum's free to kids in London? Shopping, have £5 each (or whatever you can afford) and trail the markets, charity shops and see who can buy the most stuff with the money, must be items you will use tho, Swimming,... You can buy a rail card here http://www.railcard.co.uk/ jump on the train and go to the seaside for the day, Maybe redecorate her room together? Let your daughter pick the colour (pot of paint from wilko or b & q is a fiver tops)... Make cakes and biscuits, invite other parents over for afternoon tea..She has friends to play with and yo have a couple of hours of adult company to stop you going mad..I know how you feel, I have four kids to contend with, you dont no how lucky you are,..lol... It is hard work,,Good luck!!!

Do you have a back garden she could just go there.
However ten is the perfect age for summer clubs you wouldn't have to go and she could make friends. You should send her away to camp.
swimming, libary, park. Some lesiure centres have wave pools and slides. These are the kinds of places my mum would take me. What about the cinema, or theme parks (which are pretty expensive) But places like Drayton manor you have a wristband and you can go on all of the rides.
Go to the libary they have events and probably more imformations. It also depends on whether you want to spend time with her or you just for her to have a good time. She could also learn to swim if she can't already.
Museums and art galleries. Also The phone book which have a list of places you can go. (Like the yellow pages.) How about the zoo. (is she too old for this?)

Maybe a wander through the historical buildings in London, like St. Pauls Cathedral, Big Ben, Westminster Cathedral. it'll send her imagination wild as London is a great and colourful city, though not as good as Manchester! lol only joking, but seriously, maybe a walk through the city centre

Why not buy a week/month family train pass and go and visit all different places.
Head into the country one day, the beach the next, visit other cities; just go visit lots of interesting places you'd never bother driving to. Gives you time to sit, relax and take in the view too.

of route it is thrilling to boot that the present coalition authorities is encouraging faculties to settle on out of state administration and develop into academies, and promotion free faculties. those faculties are then able to set their own time period dates, and are taking off to maintain on with the kind proposed by using Michael Gove of an better kind of shorter words with fortnightly breaks between rather than the lengthy summer season vacation. Michael Gove is suggesting it is extra proper for youngster's coaching, notwithstanding it is also very reachable for taking off up top more inexpensive vacation journeys, till of route the vacation businesses smart as a lot because the recent progression, then i think they substitute the time period dates again!

My kids started summer vacation (holiday) on June 21 and go back to school September 6th this year. They went to camp for 2 weeks. Other things we do is go to the library, go swimming, have friends over, go to nature centers and zoos, have picnics etc.

Find out all the free events and musuems etc. If you have a nectar card, save all the points as they will get you in all sorts of places. Oh, and tell her to earn a Blue Peter badge!
Also, there all sorts of children's clubs, see if there are any in your area.
Is there a coach company near you? They usually do trips all over, see what the prices are.

i remember being a kid, and being taken to the cinema, beach (the nearest one to u obviously, london lacks beaches) roller skating, picnic's, days in the park, bike rides, the list is endless. maybe you could ask ur daughter to write a list of all the things that she would like to do!
hope it helps and that ur daughter has a good summer holiday!
