Description

The Sheriff Centre (Hullabaloo Soft Play) in West Hampstead, London, is a colourful and imaginative soft play area uniquely set within the beautiful arches of St James’ Church. Designed for babies and young children, it’s a one-of-a-kind family venue blending play, community, and relaxation.

The play area is divided into two zones: a baby section with a ball pit, sensory mirrors, and soft puzzles for little ones learning to crawl, and a junior zone with three adventure-packed levels featuring slides, tunnels, and hide-and-seek corners for children aged 2–10. Hullabaloo also hosts Soft Play Lates, where parents can unwind with a drink from the bar while kids play, and dedicated Additional Needs Sessions for children who may find regular sessions challenging.

Sessions cost £5.00 for babies (up to 23 months) and £7.00 for juniors (up to 10 years) for one hour of play. Private hire is available on Sunday afternoons, with group bookings offered on Saturdays. The on-site café serves artisan coffee, cakes, and snacks, with free Wi-Fi and comfortable lounge seating.

A visit to Hullabaloo Soft Play offers more than just fun — it’s a warm, community-centred experience in a truly unique setting. With friendly staff, inclusive play sessions, and a welcoming café, it’s one of London’s most charming soft play destinations.
