Coram's Fields

Coram's Fields is a large children's playground area in central London. The field contains various playground equipment which is good but not spectacular compared to many other playgrounds, it also houses a number of animals including sheep, goats (which were free to roam when Bug and Buggies visited) and birds. A cafe provides coffee and food (Bug didn't visit so no comment) and finaly there is plenty of space.

Generaly the bigger Buggies found the playground fun, imediatly zooming in on the bigger childrens play ground; there were not many people arround so only the hurdle of climbing up something they couldn't reach got in the way of a great deal of fun. We also looked at the birds
which are housed in a very dated aviary and sheep in an enclosure on one side of the fields. The littlest Buggie slept.

Over all the history of the fields seemed far more exciting to the Bug than the fields themselves but that shouldn't take away what is, after all a large free play area walking distance from King Cross, The British Museum, and various shopping areas; nothing short of an oasis.
