Best Playgrounds in London

St James Park

Central to many attraction and right next to Buckingham Palace, this playground is a must-do for families visiting London. Equipped with a snack shack serving ice cream, drinks, coffee, and other treats, it gives the family a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the London metropolis.

Coram Fields

This community area is a bit removed from the central location of London, but it is very close to the British Museum and a subway station. A large community area completely fenced in with a nice playground, including a dual-lane zipline for racing. No snack stand, but does have nice bath

Princess Diana Memorial Playground

The Princess Diana Memorial Playground, located in Kensington Gardens, London, is a tribute to the late Princess of Wales. Inspired by Peter Pan, it features a large wooden pirate ship, swings, and play areas designed for children to explore and enjoy. The playground is surrounded by beautiful gardens and offers a peaceful space for families to remember Princess Diana’s love for children and the outdoors.
