2021 Play Street of the Year

In the stop-start year of 2021 we staged the West End premiere of our short film documenting the unique Play Street Carousel lockdown project.

Past winners

2019: KYNASTON RD, ENFIELD

Enfield’s Kynaston Road was named London’s Play Street of the Year with a low-key film showing the simple pleasures of playing in a traffic-free street, even when it rains. The movie-style ‘clapper board’ award came with a prize of £100 for play equipment for the street.

Kynaston Road resident Tia, 7 said:

“I like play street because you get to ride your bike and play on the road. It’s my favourite in the summer when it doesn’t rain. I want to live on the street forever and be the person who looks after play street with my friends.”

2018: Mt Pleasant Road, HARINGEY

2017: Love Lane, CROYDON (again!)

2016: Love Lane, CROYDON

2015:  Winston Road, HACKNEY and Fairbridge Road, ISLINGTON joint winners
