London’s green spaces are the envy of cities the world over, providing lush areas of rest, relaxation and recreation amid the urban sprawl.

More parks have been added for the new edition including the new Queen Elizabeth Park in Stratford.

This authoritative guide contains detailed reviews of London’s park and gardens, and offers fascinating accounts of their history as well as practical information about opening times, sports facilities and the chances of finding a good coffee. With over 70 stunning photographs and 16 maps, this book is designed to help you enjoy a surprisingly green city.
