Camden offers a wide range of sports activities, outdoor gyms and events, neighbourhood playgrounds and allotments, as well as great parks with quiet areas where you can relax and escape from busy inner-city life.

We have some high quality leisure centres, plus the most outdoor gyms in the UK situated in our parks throughout the borough.

Despite being in the heart of London, there are numerous beautiful green spaces in Camden from historic squares to wide open expanses of heathland.

This ranges from the larger spaces of Hampstead Heath, Regents Park, and Primrose Hill, to the smaller urban idylls of Hampstead Cemetery, Russell Square, St George’s Gardens, St Pancras’ Gardens and Waterlow Park.

Below are just some of the sports and outdoor highlights coming up:
