Large open space with a couple of play structures in all corners. It has an 1980s feel to it as the structures and merry go rounds seem outdated, but it’s loads of fun! They don’t let you in the park unless you’re accompanied by a child. There is a little coffee shop that sells the best natural yogurts. Try the mix berry one, yummy yummy! I liked it because they kids seem to really have fun. Many of them were playing in the sand pile without shoes. Everyone there seemed really relaxed. Fun free activity!

After hearing about this from my wife, we decided to check it out. I wanted to like it but didn’t think it was all that. Maybe it was the time of year but it just seemed run down and uncared for. Uneven paving, well compacted wood chips on the play areas and fences falling over. The animals looked bored and their enclosures needed a good clean. Overall not impressed — looks like it could have been a kids oasis in the past but now a skeleton of its former self — sad such a neat place has fallen into disrepair.

I have very little to say other than, this park was fantastic. They have a zip line! I have noticed that playgrounds in London have all the fun things that they don’t allow in the states anymore. It would be very easy to spend hours here.

Perfect for young children, it has playgrounds with slides, swings and so on. The small petting zoo is nice as well. The park is free and as there can be no adults without children it has a nice safe atmosphere. A nice free place to go with small children

If you have children and want to spend a safe, traffic free, drunk free afternoon in the park then come here. And if you don’t, don’t even bother. This little park in Bloomsbury is only accessible if you have someone under the age of 16 with you. It so wonderful, it makes me want to me a child again. They have a little farm, a great adventure playground with highly imaginative swings and zip wire, a nice grassy area, and a café(although we didn’t try this). It really is a special place for children and parents alike and is all walled off from the hustle and bustle of London life. Perfect.

Coram’s Fields is a marvelous place to bring your kid/s for a run, climb, picnic, bite to eat, baa or quack. A wonderfully big open space(gated for safety) with a massive lawn, sandpits, play areas for toddlers and bigger kids, a vegetarian café, and a farm corner(rabbits, birds, goats, sheep, ducks, and hens). It feels incredibly inviting and relaxing, and is a real kids’ haven of a place to find in the middle of such a busy city. Kipfurl at Coram’s is a little Austrian vegetarian café that serves up kid friendly sandwiches as well as some with a more adult taste, pasta and other hot foods, and fruit and cakes, all for a fairly reasonable price. However, if you’re looking for treats for a picnic, perhaps a quick stop at Waitrose in the neighbouring Brunswick centre, or at any of the local shops on Marchmont. Don’t forget your bucket and spade for the sandpit!

You don’t get much better than this in central London. First of all, the gate has a sign that says no unaccompanied adults. You cannot go in unless you have a child. Secondly, there are about 4 different play areas for different ages of children, from tiny tots through to early teens. The area for older kids has helter skelters and a flying fox. The third awesome thing about this place, is the animals in the petting zoo. Some of which roam the park area freely. Coram’s was established on the site of the Foundling Hospital that used to house London’s abandoned children. The site was last used for this purpose in 1926, and has since been turned into a trust, caring for children and young people in and around the Bloomsbury area. There is now an astroturf area for football and other sports on the area where the hospital used to stand. The outer buildings are used by various youth groups and a nursery, and the central area has been turned into a play park and petting zoo. If you are interested in the history, the Foundling Museum lies just behind the Coram’s Fields complex. If you live nearby this is an excellent place to let the kids run off a bit of steam. It should keep them occupied for at least a couple of hours.
