Let Play Begin At Northumberland Place!

Let the Play Begin at Northumberland Place!

We’re gearing up for the exciting launch of Westminster’s newest Play Street at Northumberland Place.

Join us on Monday 4 August 2025, from 5–7pm for the official launch event. It will be a free, fun-filled evening where the street will be transformed into a safe, car-free space for children to play and neighbours to connect.

This is the first of three new Play Streets being introduced across Westminster as part of a resident-led initiative supported by Westminster City Council and partners. It’s all about creating safer, more Active Streets for our communities to enjoy.

What is a Play Street?

If you don’t already know, Play Streets are temporary, resident-organised closures that turn streets into places for play, community and creativity—making neighbourhoods healthier, safer, and more social for everyone.

Get ready to play and connect!

Here’s what you can expect when you join us:
  • Space to scoot, cycle, draw and play
  • Games, chalk art, and community fun
  • A chance to meet neighbours and celebrate the space together

Come along, bring your family, and experience how a local street can become a shared space full of colour, energy and connection.

More Play Streets Coming Soon

Northumberland Place is just the beginning! Keep an eye on our website and socials for updates on when the other Play Streets are launching – we’ve got another two in the pipeline!

Bring Play Streets To Your Neighbourhood!

Seen It At Queen Mother? Sociability Is Now At Moberly Too!

Seen It At Queen Mother? Sociability Is Now At Moberly Too!

We’re excited to announce that Sociability is now live at Moberly Sports Centre on Chamberlayne Road – making it easier than ever to plan your visit with confidence.

Here’s a quick reminder about how Sociability helps

Sociability is a disabled-led technology company and mobile app designed to empower disabled people by helping them discover accessible venues across the UK. The app provides clear, detailed and accurate information about venue accessibility, from step-free access and lighting levels to the presence of accessible toilets, hoists, or grab rails.

Whether you’re planning a swim, a gym session, or just want to check out local facilities, Sociability gives you the tools to plan ahead, reduce uncertainty, and enjoy more time doing what you love.

Let’s come together to create a more active, inclusive and supportive Westminster for all.

Why it matters

For many disabled people, lack of reliable accessibility info can be a real barrier to getting active. Sociability helps break down that barrier by making it easier to know what to expect before arriving. It enables greater independence, confidence, and freedom when accessing leisure services – aligning perfectly with ActiveWestminster’s commitment to inclusive and active communities.

Try it for yourself! Head over to the Sociability website at www.sociability.app, learn more and download their free mobile app today!
