Active Space Skate London

Exploring spaces in London dedicated to skateboarding. Places that have been taken over by or designated for skateboarding have proven to contribute to the social development and improvement of areas. Eyes on the street and a self directd approach to maintenance help to deter crime and decay.

Some areas in London where this is evident are Meanwhile skatepark in west london and Stockwell skatepark in south London. Stockwell has existed since the 1970s and been recently refurbished and improved, access is free to anyone and as a skatepark it is amazingly well designed.

Meanwhile occupies an area under the Westway road system and has also been refurbished recently.
