What used to be know as Playstation Skatepark for several years, then once Xbox took on the sponsorship of the park it became Bay Sixty 6, now Nike SB have just finished refurbishing the park.
We will be updating this page with photos of the new park soon in the mean time check out the videos below.
The undercroft of the Southbank Centre has pretty much been the beating heart of London skateboarding for around 40+ years now. With a love hate relationship between the building’s owners and skateboarders (Brilliantly documented in the documentary “Rollin Through The Decades” by Winstan Whitter). The area set aside for skateboarders comprises of a variety of ledges, banks and a set of stairs. There is also a railing to stop tourists from wandering a bit too close and getting in the way too.
This skatepark is nestled under the arches of the railway bridge that leads to London Bridge station, near the White Grounds estate. With a series of stacked and staggered angled ledges in the centre, then to maximise the use of space transitions and banks straight against the walls. Also a mini ramp tucked around the corner.

Royal Oak, or sometimes called Meanwhile 2 due to it’s closeness to the bowls in Meanwhile Gardens, is a mix of a very old pre-cast concrete halfpipe (without any real flat bottom) and a modern concrete skatepark. The park is under the cover of the A40 overpass, the same road which BaySixty6 is under.
Mile End is a heavily street orientated skatepark, although there is a small swimming pool style bowl and wooden mini ramp indoors. It has several ledges spread out around the park, lots of flat land areas, manual pads and a nice hip with a ledge on top. It’s very much a good park to train your street skills up.
