Play streets

 

Play streets happen when neighbours agree to regularly open their street (for play and community) and close it (to through traffic). Simple… but magic; just watch this film:

Would you like your street to come alive with play?

The good news is that now in most London boroughs, starting a play street is fairly easy. Councils have a simple application process; and their growing popularity means your neighbours are likely to be supportive.

And we can help! London Play has been putting play back on the capital’s streets since 2008.  We have worked in nearly every borough in London and are happy to help you make it happen on your street. We even have a separate, dedicated London Play Streets website with all the inspiration, information and resources you need. So what are you waiting for? Jump through the wormhole, below.
