park, playground, children- to be replaced(see description)

A large open space with lots of fun things for kids. Note that adults are only allowed in if accompanied by children.
Previously the site of the London Foundling Hospital, built by Captain Coram for children whose parents couldn't or wouldn't care for them. G.F. Handel performed his Messiah as a fundraiser,an 18th century equivalent of LiveAid. The work of the hospital is commemorated in the Foundling Museum to the north-west of the site.

Parts of the Foundling Hospital remain, and are visible from in front of the museum. (Stone columns, which supported a shelter which flanked the open space within the children's home.)
