London's Best Playgrounds Book

The Best Playgrounds in London: A Guide for Tiny Explorers (and Their Grown-Ups)

Turns out London is a playground — you just need to know where to look. The Best Playgrounds in London is a witty, well-curated guide to the capital’s most creative, curious, and downright brilliant play spaces. From sculptural climbing frames in Hackney to woodland hideouts in Hammersmith, this book is your shortcut to outdoor adventures that don’t involve a trip to Zone 6.

Designed for kids with energy to burn and grown-ups who’d prefer not to burn out, it’s packed with insider tips, local gems, and design-led spaces that go way beyond your average roundabout-and-slide setup. Whether your small sidekick loves swinging high, getting muddy, or pretending to be a squirrel, there’s something here to keep everyone entertained.

Compact, charming, and just the right amount of irreverent, this guide helps you turn a simple stroll into a city-wide expedition. Urban jungle? Not quite. But it’s definitely wilder (and more fun) than you think.
