Field of Coram is a children’s only playground in Bloomsbury, Camden. It was London’s first public playground for children, opening in 1936. The seven-hectare playground is open all year round for children under 16. It includes a playground, a pet corner, sandboxes, a cafe, a nursery and other amenities. The park is built on the former site of Thomas Coram’s Foundling Hospital. It is now run by an independent registered charity and adheres to its well-known policy that “no adult is allowed in without a child.”
There are eight places on the playground. These courts are ideal for holding sports days, PE lessons and even company games in schools. They also have a variety of rooms to rent for classes, seminars, children’s parties, meetings and other events. When you rent the space, they provide chairs, tables, projectors, TVs, and even fully equipped kitchens. However, due to renovations, the hall spaces will not be available for rent until February 2022.
