The Bars – Finding escape from violence at London’s bar parks | Huck Presents

A vibrant, supportive community is growing up around bar parks across London. It’s all thanks to charity Steel Warriors, which creates outdoor calisthenics equipment from melted down knives recovered from London’s streets. The free lessons Steel Warriors lead at three separate London parks each week provide a safe space and has drawn many young people away from the violence on the capital’s streets. Director and photographer Spencer Murphy created The Bars, as an intimate portrait of this diverse network of people supporting each other through outdoor exercise.
