The Coolest Playgrounds in the UK
Biodiversity Playground at Stratford Westfield
Since when did play areas get so cool?! Perfect for improving gross motor skills, promoting imaginative play and the joy of movement, play grounds are the perfect way for your little ones to burn off some energy. And most importantly, have fun!
Price: Free
Once a coal fired power station on the Thames, Battersea Power Station has recently been turned into an ultra cool shopping and leisure complex (Crosstown Doughnuts and Le Labo in one place? Sign us up!). But why should adults have all the fun? This stunning playground is a mix of natural woods and bright maximalist design, created by designers to cater to a wide range of ages of children. It's located near the underground, and is open daily from 8am-8pm.

The Biodiversity playground is situated just by Stratford Westfield, which makes it so convenient for transport links and good facilities.

We hope more of their designs come to the UK soon, as they're just so imaginative!

After growing up in the North-west of England, Emma’s love of travel and style saw her career move to London with a fashion + business degree, first working as a trend researcher then menswear buyer for some of the most famous stores in the UK.
In 2015, having had her first baby she moved to Norwich to explore a family life closer to beaches and the countryside. Becoming a parent she found herself in a world of kidswear that didn’t look good or perform for the type of fresh air fun as a family so she set about creating her own brand. Little Hotdog Watson was born in 2016. The summer and winter hats for kids and adults, jam-packed with innovative protective technology have gone on to win awards, grace the pages of magazines, like Vogue, Grazia, Independent, Mother and Baby and celebrities alike.
Emma had another daughter in 2019 and became a lecturer in Fashion and Business at Norwich University of the Arts. She continues to design hats at her dining room table and share her passion to help families get outside more and explore the world. Here is one of her favourite outside blogs; 15 games adults will love playing with kids
