A list of places that provide sanctuary from the heat. When the temperature goes over 30 degrees you can find some where cool to sit at one of these places. Some have facilities like toilets, cafes and water – others are just a place to be.

We are currently working on bringing this list together – hopefully adding more spaces – watch this space.
