Skateboarding Spots

• Little skateboarders can have a whole load of skateboarding fun on the concrete football pitch at the bottom of Horniman Gardens.
• Half way between Forest hill station and Sydenham girls theres a nice, long low square rail, good for practice. Needs wax though. Closer to the station r a couple of nice benches, not too gd for grinding but gd for practising tricks on and off. Just behind the petrol station on Stanstead road, near the fire station is a gd area. Loadsa steps, going from a 2 set to a 12 set. An ok handrail on the 8 set if ya can do handrails yet
• One place, just one. The easyest way to get to it is through an ally near the trainstation heading towards Sydenham, near a block of flats, it has to grind bars and two kick boxes, very hard to find if you don't know the area, and what's more is the area it's in!, you'll probly have trouble with the Nike wearing locals. Just down the road is my place, with a ramp out the back :p
• STRAIGHT DOWN LONDON ROAD - Top to bottom is best (uphill is pretty dumb) So yeah go to the top of london road just near esso, and skate to the station. If ya can handle it that is!
• Manor Mount - 1 in 6 but mind the corner at the bottom.
• Try the middle of the nearby South Circular.

Skateboard Shops

• There's a SNOWboard shop behind the train station.
• Finches, located behind the trainstation, good for skateing but better for snowboarders.
• Ok, so it is not actually a skate shop, but they do stock some stuff. Finches - Just behind the station. Enjoy :)

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
