WHAT’S ON
London parks: from royal landscapes to local green space
London’s green spaces can be the destination, the route between attractions or the quiet half of a busy city day.

Match the park to the day
Large parks suit long walks and cycling; smaller central gardens can provide a short reset between museums, shops or meetings.
Check seasonal conditions
Opening hours, events, sports, wildlife areas and path conditions can change. Use the park operator’s current information.
Plan the edges
Transport, cafés and facilities may cluster near particular gates. Choose the entrance that fits the route rather than the park name alone.
Respect the landscape
Follow signs around wildlife, water, dogs, cycling and protected areas. Take litter away when bins are full.
