City Mill Skate Dots and Lockdown

Just over one year on from the UK’s first coronavirus lockdown, City Mill Skate, the UCL-funded research project which aims to build a series of ‘skate dots’ in London’s Olympic Park, released a new film. City Mill Skates Dots and Lockdown charts the progress of the project from early 2020 to the present day, with particular attention to the advent of coronavirus related restrictions in March 2020 and the profound effect that social distancing, skatepark closures and other measures had upon young people, London’s skateboard community, and a result, the City Mill Skate project too.
