Primrose Hill Playground — Attraction in London

One of my favourite (relatively) local green spaces, for me it's full of great childhood memories and a place where new memories can be made on any given day. It's maintained by the team of gardeners/groundskeepers based up the road @ regent's park, who do a great job in keeping it neat but not thrashed to death with strimmers. There's a little children's park, in need of a bit of modernisation but no less fun for the nippers than any other play area.

Lovely on a hot summers day, the top of the hill gets a nice breeze keeping you cooler than anywhere else in the park else so that's a quick tip.

A lovely little place to bring the family on a Sunday afternoon. I've been coming here with my family since I was a baby. I'm thirty-five now and Primrose Hill never fails to amuse and delight. There's something for all the family, a smaller play area for babies and tots, the main one for children up to fourteen years, an exercise area with bars and benches for those fourteen to adult, plus a café toilets, and a first aid room which is always staffed by a qualified...
