Time Out says

Providing a cornucopia of facilities to delight its young patrons, the Bloomsbury-located Coram’s Fields is one of the most child-friendly open spaces in central London. Set on the former site of Thomas Coram’s Foundling Hospital, which was established in 1747 as a sanctuary for unwanted babies and which is explored at the nearby Foundling Museum, Coram’s Fields continues to protect children by enforcing a strict policy that only permits adults to enter if accompanied by a child under 16. The children's park on this beautiful walled garden site is simply the best for miles around. There's an enormous sandpit and all sorts of toddler climbing frames, see saws and swings on the east side. There’s also a petting zoo and an adventure playground for the older kids with a zip wire, tunnel slide and lots of climbing equipment made out of natural materials. Robust ride-on toys come out during certain periods, and kids adore making the most of this large and beautiful inner city space.

What’s on

Coram’s Fields Fireworks Display

This small, family-focused fireworks event in Camden’s Coram Fields proves its kid-friendly credentials by taking place a lot earlier than your average display, starting at 3.30pm with performances from local youth groups alongside fun fair rides and food stalls, with around 20 minutes of banks and sparks lifting off at 6pm. As always, adults need to be accompanying a child for access to the venue, and as one of the few free entry fireworks displays in the city it gets busy from early on, so visitors are advised to get down early. Donations are very much encouraged if you can spare the cash for a good cause.
