Frequently asked questions

What does the “Big Group + Picnic + The View” filter show on London parks for group picnics and kickabouts?

This view narrows London parks for group picnics and kickabouts to venues tagged for Big Group + Picnic + The View. FairWhere can still rank that filtered shortlist by journey fairness when you start a plan, so the activity fit and the commute both work for the group.

How do I pick a London park that works for the whole group?

London parks for group picnics and kickabouts is curated for group plans. Filter by picnic, barbecue, kickabout, swimming and more, then rank the shortlist so the journey works for everyone coming, not who shouted loudest in the chat.

Can we barbecue in Royal Parks?

All eight Royal Parks ban barbecues. Filter this Placelist for barbecue to see borough parks with designated areas, then rank those parks for your group.

Can we use this list for a fireworks-weekend park meet?

Yes, as a park meet before the gates, not as a fireworks list. Battersea Park and Alexandra Palace Park have ticketed displays on 7 and 8 November 2026. Blackheath is Saturday 7 November only. Book official tickets, meet on this list, then walk to the gates together.

How does FairWhere rank places on London parks for group picnics and kickabouts?

FairWhere ranks venues on this Placelist by FairWhere Score: journey fairness for your whole group, not by popularity, sponsorship, or who suggested the place first. Open Plan a fair meet to add origins and see the ranked shortlist.

Do I need everyone in the same area of London?

No. FairWhere is built for groups coming from different zones. Add each person's start location and it ranks venues so the travel burden is as fair as possible across the group.
