Play Cycles
-
Enjoy play, arts and crafts, music making and storytelling this summer.
Our family of pedal-powered play units are hitting the road again this summer to reimagine London’s streets as radical places for joy, creativity and gathering.
They'll be out and about across the City over the summer holidays, bringing opportunities for fun, free and intergenerational play.
Each of the three bikes – The Broadcaster, The Explorer and The Companion – bring a range of activities including loose parts play, arts and crafts, music making and storytelling. There's even the chance to relax with a cup of tea over a board game.
Play Cycles are designed by NOOMA Studio and in partnership with City of London.
