Summary

COI synopsis: A new adventure for children. London Line visits one of London’s adventure playgrounds, a new dimension of freedom for children at play in Britain’s cities, and quite different from the conventional swings and carousel approach to organised recreation for the young. In the London Line studio, Michael Smee talks to Lady Allen of Hurtwood, chairman of the London Adventure Playground Association.
