London Sports Festival 2025, in the City of London Corporation’s Guildhall Yard
Following the huge success of Central London Alliance’s 3×3 basketball activation in Paternoster Square, London Sports Festival is taking its programme of sport, participation and community into its next chapter, with pickleball and jumbo volleyball coming to the City of London Corporation’s Guildhall Yard in the Culture Mile next week.The new activation will once again transform a public space in the Square Mile into a vibrant destination for sport, wellbeing and social connection, giving workers, residents and visitors the opportunity to discover and play one of the world’s fastest-growing sports.The move to Guildhall Yard follows the remarkable response to London Sports Festival’s 3×3 basketball activation in Paternoster Square, which transformed the Square into a thriving sporting destination, welcoming over 3,500 participants through coaching, wheelchair basketball, corporate challenges, inclusive sessions, tournaments, fitness classes and open play. The court also welcomed men’s, women’s and wheelchair 3×3 players ahead of the Commonwealth Games, with the men’s and wheelchair women’s teams returning from Glasgow as Commonwealth Games gold medallists – a powerful demonstration of London Sports Festival’s ambition to connect elite sport with grassroots participation.Nadia Perrier, Director of Central London Alliance, said:
