London Goes Ping!

ping-londonIf you wander through London this summer, you might have to dodge a few low-flying ping pong balls. It’s not a quirk of British weather, however – it’s just another taster of sporty London in the run-up to the 2012 Olympics, because people really do love London.

There’ll be 100 ping-pong tables popping up all over London for four weeks this summer are 100 ping-pong tables. And in a three year project to get the public involved in social and competitive table tennis, they’re all free to the public. The idea - called Ping! - is a partnership between the ETTA and Sing London, the participatory arts centre behind last years Street Pianos Project. Instead of tinkling the ivories outdoors, this year you can bat the odd ball in places all over the city, from Soho Square to St. Pancras International.

So if you’re out and about shopping, sightseeing or just commuting this August in London, you might get the unexpected chance to grab a bat. And you even plan it into your day out – check out pinglondon.com to find the location of all 100 tables.
