It’s almost impossible NOT to play when you sit in the sand or dip your fingers in the water. Sand, water, stones and mud; beaches and rivers are like a magnet for children and offer the opportunity to create, destroy, experiment and immerse themselves in play.

  • IMG 1 – Some foot refreshment after some hard out climbing action…. Waterside Adventure Playground, Islington
  • IMG 2 – A day at the beach – in Islington? Waterside Adventure Playground
  • IMG 3 – Digging for treasure, building a castle or creating a channel – the endless possibilities offered by sand and water. Waterside Adventure Playground, Islington
  • IMG 4 – A day by the river in Waterside Adventure Playground, Islington

Toasted marshmallows anyone? Fire places and pits offer a contained space for children to play with fire and learn to respect it. A fire also provides a different sort of focus for gathering, socialising, cooking and eating in a way that few city dwellers have the opportunity to experience.

Portals to another play dimension and a popular addition to any playspace, underground tunnels are another brilliantly simple concept for stimulating active and imaginative play. London Play has plenty of experience digging itself out of holes so we are uniquely placed to fulfil your tunnel needs.

IMG 1 – Not teletubby land – it’s Woodberry Down Estate in Hackney. Max built this as part of our Access to Nature project.

IMG 2 – This tunnel is less Teletubbies and more ‘escape from Alcatraz’ or ‘burrow under the ruins’… hours of fun at Waterside Adventure Playground, Islington.

IMG 3 – 

IMG 4 – Looks a bit like a mine shaft but no, it’s another London Play subterranean adventure just waiting for some willing explorers.

IMG 5 – Has this creature emerged from that tunnel? What else is lurking? Hackney – Woodberry Down Estate.

Our Treehouse Gallery

IMG 1 – Built with children and young people at the back of the old Tidemill School in Deptford, this treehouse has seen kids spend many happy hours winching things up and down to one another and playing imaginative games.

IMG 2 – Children at Camden’s Kilburn Grange playground took the lead in building a treehouse complete with rope swing access during a summer 2013 playscheme.

IMG 3 – Not a house for hobbits but a delightfully quirky two story design bringing a bit of extra magic to the woodland area at Mudchute Farm.

IMG 4 – Kings (and queens) of the castle at Kilburn Grange.

IMG 5 – Treehouse at Hayward Adventure Playground. Perfect for children on the autistic spectrum to escape the noise and chaos below.
