Coram's Fields

Coram's Fields is a unique seven-acre park situated in Holborn providing a safe but stimulating environment for children living in the centre of London.

No adult is able to enter Coram's Field without a child and the friendly staff ensures that everyone enjoys their visit. The playground occupies the site of the original Foundling Hospital established by Captain Thomas Green in 1739; the current Foundling Museum is only minutes away. After the hospital was relocated to the outskirts of London the land was transformed into London's first children's public playground.

In addition to the extensive lawns the park also features turf pitches for sports, a paddling pool, sandpits, slides, a pets corner with goats and hens, a nursery and café.

Coram's Fields organise many events and activities throughout the year in order to support itself and generate some much needed funds.

Coram's Fields is open every day except Christmas day from 9am till 7pm during summer months and 9am till duck in winter. Find out more about Coram's Fields.
