Join us for a relaxed morning stroll around the London Wetlands Centre. This large, peaceful Wetlands centre is located alongside the river Thames. There are long areas of board walks to explore around the lakes and reservoirs which are perfect for buggies and prams. For the children there are lots of ducks to look at, Otters to watch, Pond Dipping, a playground, and a new splashpad.

There is an admission charge of £16.29 for adults and £10.58 for children aged 3-17, and children under 3 are free. If the cost of admission is a barrier to you attending, please DM me as we have a fund for opening participation to low-income families.

We will meet outside the front entrance on the bridge next to the statue of Sir Peter Scott (you can't miss it!). Look for my navy rucksac with the pride flags tucked into it.

The Wetlands Centre can be reached from:
Overground trains to Barnes Station (10 minutes from Clapham Junction)
Hammersmith Tube station - approximately 25 minutes walk, but you can walk the very scenic riverside path directly to the Wetlands Centre.
By Bus - number 33, 209, 419, 485, 533, 969, 849
There is extensive, free parking onsite.

The site is very wheelchair friendly, with mobility scooters available to reserve free of charge.

For the uniniated, Coram's Field's is a large children's only park in Bloomsbury which is only accessible to adults if they are accompanied by a child under 16. There is an adventure playground, large sandpit playground, a paddling pool, a wildlife garden and a large central lawn to sit on.

Join us for a relaxed meet-up on the lawn where the kids can enjoy a bit of freedom and we can form a base on the central lawn. Bring a picnic if you like.

Elephant Springs is a large, new urban water and sand based play area in Elephant and Castle. Formed of natural italian sandstone there are various, cleverly designed ways to play in the water. There are hand operated old fashioned pumps, as well as dancing jets, and cascades of water running down between rock channels to form little babbling streams. Natural play and exploration is encouraged with the mechanism to block, dam, and divert the water at various points. The wet area is surrounded by a large sandpit set under mature trees for some shade in warmer weather.

Please look for our base near to the Hammocks. We will aim to get as near as possible to this landmark but of course things can change on the day. Please look out for a red tartan picnic blanket and pride flags.

There is level access for wheelchair accessibility.
