Best parks in London 2022

 London is a green city. Miraculously green. For every building, street and pavement, for every concrete block and brick wall, there`s about as much green space, garden, park and field. Should 8.4 million Londoners spontaneously decide to hug a tree, there`d be a tree each for them to do so. Go for a walk in London and every fifth step, on average, you`ll be under the cover of a tree. In fact, because our capital is covered with forests, it is classified as a forest by UN measures. Therefore, there is no reason not to explore these beautiful parks in London.

I have selected some of the best green spaces in London, organized by area - all you need to do is pack your picnic…

The Best Parks in London

1. St. James Park: Bounded by Buckingham Palace ♛ on one side, the Mall, Westminster and the Guards Parade, St James's Park is a peaceful and beautiful green space measuring approximately 23 hectares.

It's hard to believe you can find such a quiet place amidst some of London's most important landmarks (it's also right next to 10 Downing Street) - but this is London for you. The park is especially popular with bird watchers, as it has a large lake with two islands inside. Around him are various birds including pelicans, waterfowl, and ducks. The view of the lake, the islands and the birds certainly makes for a beautiful sight. If you are looking for beautiful parks in London, James's Park deserves to be at the top of your list.

2. Green Park: Another of London’s “royal parks”, Green Park is a fitting name for this lush oasis in the centre of London.

                                            Green Park 

In the City of Westminster, it covers a total of about 40 acres. Unlike some other parks in London, Green Park is relatively simple, without a lake and lots of trees.
Although it's a perfectly peaceful town today, it's had a slightly rougher past - it was once known as a hotspot for robbers and thieves.
Today that is not a problem and is instead a network of trails that take you through lush green spaces.

3. Hyde Park: Hyde Park is probably London's most famous park and one of the four royal parks in central London. No wonder it's at the top of almost every London itinerary.
First founded by Henry VIII in 1536, it was not open to the public for the next century (you know its relationship with the royal family).
Fortunately today, all Londoners can enjoy vast green spaces and many events. Some of
Some of Hyde Park's famous events take place at the Speakers Corner. There are talks on a variety of themes (some of which are interesting and some of which are obviously not), and there are also outdoor rock shows that have captivated people like Queen.

4. Kensington Garden: If you're looking for a nice park in central London, Kensington Gardens is always a good choice. They were once the gardens of Kensington Palace (in the centre of the park and look very nice) and are very special. The

the garden covers an area of ​​over 270 hectares and the trails pass by many interesting species of flora and fauna.
Originally located at the westernmost tip of Hyde Park, it is now a park in itself and there is some kind of competition between the two. It's only soft, but both are pretty good.

5. Richmond Park: Parks in London are not as attractive as Richmond Park.
Not only is it one of London's largest green spaces, but this western London park is home to some of the best wildlife.
Richmond Park, called "Royal Park," covers over 955 acres. This makes it the second-largest park in England and three times as large as Central Park.
Another thing that Richmond Park is in a famous park across the pond is a very large herd of deer. There are a total of about 650 wild deer in the
park. Previously introduced to hunting before today it's just walking around to please visitors to the park (sometimes scary).

6. Blackheath: One of London's most beautiful parks hides a true dark secret. Or at least I'm sure it will be.

Blackheath is famous for being probably a burial ground during the plague of London in the 14th and 17th centuries.
The eerie story may add an ominous atmosphere, but you certainly won't notice it when you look at the parks located in the 19th century. With lots of flora and
flora and fauna and one of London's most fascinating areas, it's also quite suitable for seeing people.

7. Greenwich Park: Beautiful Greenwich Park is one of the oldest parks in southeast London and was first designed in the 15th century.

It soon became a popular part of the London countryside. The population rebelled when it tried to convert part of it to railroads in the 1850s.
They eventually succeeded and remain protected green spaces to this day. There are many hiking trails in the park and attractions such as the Queen's House are not far away.

8.Regent:s Park: With over 165 acres of flowers, attractions and Londoners, Regent's Park is one of London's most popular parks.

On the premises is an island with a magnificent ZSL zoo and a beautiful Japanese garden. Yes, the whole island. There is also a boating lake, a promenade and an open-air theatre. It's basically a perfect London park.

9. Victoria Park: Victoria Park in the 19th century is also known as the "People's Park" because it was one of the first facilities enjoyed by the working class in London. To date, it's a place where people in and out of the city can enjoy the outdoors and public facilities. With an area of ​​ 88 hectares, the park has two cafes, Lido (swimming pool) and Cricket Pitch. We also frequently hold concerts, protests and other events.
