Drury Lane Playground
📍 London, Greater London
Secluded free playground just off Covent Garden featuring swings, slides, a multisports area, a small garden, and toilet facilities. Suits children under 12 and works well as a break from shopping or theatre visits nearby.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children aged 2–11 who need a calm outdoor break during a Covent Garden day out. The enclosed, shaded setting suits longer stays — parents report comfortable visits of two hours or more. Children under 2 may find the equipment less engaging, and older tweens will quickly exhaust the options.

“Hidden gem in Covent Garden! As many said it's not easy to spot such a beautiful,secluded playground in this area. Lots to play with for toddlers and little kids, toilets are also here ( closed for cleaning while I was passing by) . There is also lot of trees that can be convenient for shadows if hot weather like today. We spent almost 2 hours with our kids here and we sat on the benches and had a coffee. Amazing place!”

“It's quite difficult to find a playground not far from Covent Garden so this one is a treasure! Drury Lane Playground has enough play equipment and territory for under 12's. However, it might be less interesting for toddlers. It is a good point for going after school and having fun after shopping nearby. Highly recommended!”

“It is very positive when the Municipality uses every part of it for the service, walking, and relaxation of its residents, especially children who live in a crowded neighborhood. A beautiful little space for all of the above in beautiful Covent Garden”
