London is one of the greenest cities on the planet. In some quarters it is said that 47% of London is some sort of green space, and could be classed as an urban national park. So it is only natural to explore Green London – iconic parks and stretches. Home to a plethora of parks, eight of them are designated as ‘Royal.’ Few of them are located in the heart of the capital, making them easily accessible. London is also a city bisected by one of the world’s great waterways ‘the River Thames,’ and is a city expanding both in area and elevation, with new skyscrapers and structures changing the landscape in several parts of the city. This combined with an abundance of smaller parks, squares, and alternative green spaces all intertwine to provide the traveller with an eclectic mix of activities to keep everyone occupied. The choices made below will not only take advantage of the diverse nature and architecture London offers, but also the amazing imagination of those who conceive ways to make your stay unforgettable. The great outdoors is waiting for you in more ways than one, so go forth and explore!Refrain from posting comments that are obscene, defamatory or inflammatory, and do not indulge in personal attacks, name calling or inciting hatred against any community.
