Head down to our new Family Parkour Sessions every Sunday

Move, jump and leap your way into Sundays.

Jump, balance, climb and explore in a welcoming family parkour class designed to get everyone moving. Families can take on new challenges side by side, encourage one another and enjoy quality time away from everyday routines.

Whether you are completely new to parkour or ready to try your next move, the session offers an exciting way to be active, have fun and learn together.

More than movement

Parkour is a creative, whole-body activity that can help develop balance, co-ordination, strength and agility. Learning new movements step by step can also build confidence, resilience and problem-solving skills.

Being active together makes the experience even more rewarding. It gives families a chance to connect, celebrate progress and create positive habits around physical activity. Regular movement can support health and fitness while helping to boost mood, energy and self-esteem.

Sessions Details

When: Sundays, 11am to 1pm

Paddington Recreation Ground Strikes Gold Again With Record-Breaking London In Bloom Score

Paddington Recreation Ground Strikes Gold Again With Record-Breaking London In Bloom Score

A 2026 London in Bloom Gold award celebrates outstanding care, ambitious improvements and another milestone year.

Paddington Recreation Ground has done it again – securing Gold at the 2026 London in Bloom Awards and achieving its highest score to date.

London in Bloom 2026 - Ceertificate
Paddington Rec celebrates Gold - and its highest-ever London in Bloom score.

A record-breaking gold

The award marks Paddington Rec’s 12th consecutive year in the competition, and this year’s result is its strongest yet. Announced at the London in Bloom ceremony at Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall, the Gold award recognises the care, quality and ambition behind one of Westminster’s best-loved green spaces. London in Bloom celebrates the capital’s green spaces and the people who care for them, making this latest Gold another standout achievement in Paddington Rec’s growing record of success.

Upgrades that made a difference

The record score caps a busy year of upgrades across the site. Improvements to the Village Green, new signage introduced across 2025 and 2026, and further enhancements have made the park even more welcoming, attractive and enjoyable for everyone who visits.

A brilliant team achievement

The result is even more impressive after a challenging year of weather, which placed extra pressure on planting and grass areas. Through it all, the team’s commitment, skill and attention to detail kept Paddington Rec looking its best.

Retaining Gold while setting a new record score is a brilliant result, and a proud moment for everyone who helps the park continue to grow and thrive.

Come and experience the magic  for yourself. Explore the upgraded facilities and enjoy everything this award-winning green space has to offer.

Pitch Perfect: Westminster’s SEND Football League Gets Rolling

Pitch Perfect: Westminster’s SEND Football League Gets Rolling

“I’m currently fixated on how the entire tournament was organised - specifically how, despite the rain and weather, we still managed not to cancel the whole thing.” -
PlayerAbingdon House Player
“From a teacher’s perspective, the league is an excellent initiative that provides valuable sporting opportunities for young people with additional needs. It encourages participation, confidence, teamwork and a sense of achievement. It was a fantastic event, and our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We look forward to the next one!”
TeacherOdyssey House

Last week, 30 young people with special educational needs and disabilities took centre stage at Paddington Recreation Ground for the launch of Westminster’s new Schools SEND Football League.

Could they do it on a cold, rainy Wednesday morning in Westminster? Absolutely.

Four schools battled through the downpour as the first fixtures of the 2026/27 campaign kicked off. Abingdon House and St Marylebone CE Bridge School represented Westminster, joined by Wembley Manor School from Brent and Odyssey House School from Camden.

Big tackles, brilliant teamwork

Each school played three seven-a-side matches, with girls and boys from under-16 secondary school year groups taking part. Friendly fixtures have brought some of the schools together before, but the new league adds a competitive goal for players to chase, giving teammates the chance to test their game plans in a league of their own.

One Abingdon House player summed up the determination on display:

Building confidence through the game

The league is about much more than goals. It creates valuable opportunities for young people with additional needs to build confidence, develop teamwork, represent their schools and enjoy the buzz of competitive sport in a positive, supportive setting.
