From Council website:
To celebrate car free day, Haringey is reclaiming part of Middle Lane from through traffic and turning it into a street of play! Bring your friends and family. There will be a picnic area, fun play activities for children and space to socialise and rest.
You can apply to the Council for your own street to be designated a Play Street on this day.
This is one of a number of events for car-free day, 10.30-5pm, across London:
Highlights of the ‘Reimagine’ event in central London include classic cycle rides and group yoga and meditation sessions on Tower Bridge.
Bank Junction is being transformed into a car-free festival space, with a picnic area and musical entertainment on a solar-powered stage. Visitors can try out a hedge maze in Cheapside and car parking spaces will become ‘parklets’ filled with games, gardening and places to sit and relax with music. Children will be able to build and race their own go-karts in Poultry.
Activities centred around five themes – move, chill, taste, play and show – range from street food stalls and arts and crafts for children, to a Tower of London historical re-enactment of the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. Everyone is invited to come and check out the pop-up playgrounds, guided walks and bike rides on traffic-free roads, art installations and BMX rides.
Santander Cycles is also offering free hires across London on Car Free Day to encourage people to cycle to and from the event.
