1 / 2Thorpdale Road Play Street
📍 London, Greater London
One monthly three-hour community event where Thorpdale Road closes to traffic, letting children play freely with bikes, scooters, footballs and outdoor toys. Organised by local residents.
A fantastic recent community initiative: for three hours every month, the kids reclaim the streets! Bring along a hula hoop, a scooter, a bicycle, a skateboard, a football, a pogo stick and most importantly a sense of play. Great for bringing people together and building a link between neighbours and friends.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families already living near or visiting Thorpdale Road who want to connect with their local community. Children of all ages from toddlers learning to balance to older kids cycling independently get genuine use from the closed street.

“It’s so much fun to spend some time with the community and meet new people. The kids play together, the parents also have fun. What a great event for everyone on the soir step. I highly encourage everyone to come and join the fun.”

Overview
Thorpdale Road Play Street is a resident-organised monthly initiative that closes the street to traffic for three hours. Children bring their own bikes, scooters, skateboards, hula hoops, pogo sticks and balls and play freely in the space. Parents use the time to connect with neighbours. The event is community-run with no commercial element — it relies on residents showing up and participating.
