And finally… brick by brick

And finally... brick by brick

The LEGO Group has donated 20,000 bricks to a charity initiative that will turn a London alleyway into a children’s playground.

Discover Children’s Story Centre, based in Newham, East London, will transform the alleyway into a “spectacular new play street” in August.

Helen Tovey, the charity’s CEO, told The Times: “It’s a really quiet backstreet that was unloved and unused.



“This felt like an amazing opportunity to create a space that inspires play and imagination.”

The “Story Street” initiative will run from Saturday 2 August to Sunday 31 August 2025, according to the charity’s website.

A thousand free tickets are to be distributed to Newham families via organisations such as local charities, community groups and food banks.
