The best playground on this bank of Thames. So many climbs and equipment❀️

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 5 and over who can handle challenging climbing structures independently. The variety of equipment keeps older children engaged across multiple play styles.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Supervise under-5s closely on the rope structures and steep slide β€” both require confident balance
⏰The multiperson swing is popular and may require a short wait at peak times
🎟️Pair the visit with lunch nearby β€” the playground is a natural break point
πŸš—Equipment is designed for active, confident climbers β€” a good progression step before more advanced adventure playgrounds

β€œRecently refurbished, this playground is extremely popular. It has a full set of swing types: baby, child, and multiperson; a large castle/slide with rope climbing structures; a boat; a small trampoline: and a spin table. The equipment is new, but some of it can be challenging for under-5s. But they do quite well on it with a little help.”

Overview

Leathermarket Gardens Playground is a recently refurbished free public playground in Bermondsey with a full equipment set: baby, child, and multiperson swings; a large castle with slide and rope climbing structures; a boat; a small trampoline; and a spin table. Some equipment is physically demanding for under-5s and benefits from adult assistance. The big slide is steep and fast β€” parents of younger children should supervise closely.
