Staying in London, don’t miss the wonderful videos of adventure play, both modern and contemporary, that the great organization London Play has been uploading. My personal faves are below: c 1960s footage of the Notting Hill adventure playground, a 1970s view of Lady Allen of Hurtwood at a playspace in Chelsea, and a modern survey of London Adventure playgrounds by the BBC from just last month!

I love this sort of video, personally.
