Selfridges Builds Temporary Indoor Skatepark

London’s Selfridges has created the UK’s largest free indoor skate park. The 18,500 square foot park has identical replicas of seven iconic London street skating spots – like the Big Ben Road Gap, part of the Southbank’s Undercroft and the Shoreditch blocks.

The creation of the park took a team of 11 skate experts and building specialists over 1,500 hours to design and build. Over 50,000 screws and 35 tons of wood has been used.

The skatepark  has been created as part of the department store’s Board Games campaign that celebrates the culture of Skate and Surf.

The stakepark is open from 27 March to the 19th April and admission is free.
