Skate Sites

PLACE: Westminister, London NEAREST TUBE STOP: Westminister
WHAT THEY GOT: More curbs and a few rails. There are lots of nice curbs in the square right outside the train station. They're all real well waxed, and at different heights. There are anumber of curbs alongside stairs that are real cool. There's also a few short hand rails, and a couple of low guard rails in the area.

PLACE: Marble Arch, London NEAREST TUBE STOP: Marble Arch

WHAT THEY GOT: Once again, more curbs and stairs. Just outside the station on Park Lane, there is a small square with some low curbs and lots of wooden benches. There is also a guard rail around some grass that is about 2 feet high. Across the street on Park Lane is The Blue Room, a real good skate / snowboarding shop. It's one of the biggest in London and has everything from jeans to bolts to skates. They also have an indoor mini ramp that you can skate on for an hour with a �25.00 or greater purchase, and FULL protective gear.

PLACE: Play Station Skate Park NEAREST TUBE STOP: Ladbroke Grove
(Hammersmith and City Line)

WHAT THEY GOT: Everything! It's underneath the A 40 in London, so it is skatable in the rain. They have a full vert, an 8 foot half pipe, and a full street course complete with handrails and oversized fun boxes. It's great when there are not too many people, but on weekends, there are 250 kids easy, and it is not that big. To get to it, exit the station, take a left under the A 40, and then a right...that will lead you to it. It is on Ackland Road.
