Coram’s Fields is definitely a park where children are in focus; no adults are allowed to enter without arriving with a child! The park located in Bloomsbury was once the site of the Foundling Hospital established by Captain Thomas Coram in 1739 to care for the unwanted and discarded children of London.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When the Foundling Hospital was moved out of London in 1920, the area was intended to be redeveloped. The hospital building was demolished and the only remaining structures were the single-storey Georgian collonaded structures that you can see there today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
