See how the street play movement is growing across the UK.
Find out what’s happening where you live and if there are streets already playing out. We know that there are many active streets not listed here so please let us know of anything you are doing so we can add it to the map. You can also check our Local Authority Directory to see if your council has a street play policy yet.

In Lambeth you can apply for a temporary Play Street Order to close your road for up to three hours per week or month. The link to their application form page here, although the times when you can apply are seasonal, so you will have to keep an eye on their website to see when they are open for applications.
You can read about the first two play streets in Lambeth on the Brixton Blog.
