Spots
If you're visiting London then you'll need to know where some of our best skate spots are. Some mentioned here have been around for decades, others are relatively new or have been renovated or altered. Of course, there are hundreds and hundreds of spots in London that you will have seen in videos and phototgraphs. We don't list all of them for a number of reasons. Firstly they're usually busts, secondly they don't last that long so we'd be wasting our time listing them and thirdly, half the fun of any spot is discovering it accidentally.

If you are in town and would like to know some of the hot spots at the moment ask the guys in the shop. Everybody here skates so we'll be able to tell you where and more importantly when to hits up some good unique terrain.

KENNINGTON - WHAT'S THERE...
The best park in London. Hardly any grindable lips unless you count the wall and the vert quarter pipe that someone thoughtfullly added. Loose snake run that people use to do airs, some temporary wooden structures built by the 'mxicans that certainly add to the park's flow a grind bar that is, shall we say 'unique'. Loads of fun to cruise about but keep an eye out for bmxers that use slightly different lines and can go a lot faster than you can on a skateboard.

INTERESTING FACT!
Dan Adams once lived in the squat on St. Agnes street the other side of the park.

HOW TO GET THERE
Come out of Kennington tube (Northern Line) take a left down the main road and you'll come to Kennington park. The bowl is in the corner nearest to this entrance.
