London Parks

[Mr Blob]

I had a good walk through Hampstead Heath with my dad - its massive, with so many ponds, there's Parliament Hill and lunch at Kenwood house. I don't often go to North London but enjoyed the day. Must say I like Greenwich Park too

Have you visited nice London parks?

St James's is my favourite
Brockwell is my local

Brockwell, Regent's, Green, St James's, Richmond, Windsor Great, and Greenwich Parks, plus Hampstead Heath, Wimbledon Common, Clapham Common, and Streatham Common.

There's lots of other commons and parks, but not sure what OP considers "nice"

Well I liked those ones, all of them.

When I was a kid my favourites used to be Brockwell Park, the Rookery at the top of Streatham Common and Crystal Palace Park (because of the dinosaurs).

I loved the Crystal Palace dinosaurs too- we took snapshots in front of them with pocket cameras- before photography went hi tech digital

Went back there recently:

D'oh! Knew there was somewhere I'd wanted to get pictures of this summer <adds to list for when the light's good>

Crystal Palace park is nang

But the bus ride seems to take forever from here. Which can sometimes be a good thing. But not easy to fit into when the light's good.

Where's 'here'?

Tulse Hill corner of Brockwell Park

 

[Bungle73]

I used to live right around the corner from Peckham Rye Park (part of it used to be a farm). Apparently it's had a lot of improvements since I lived locally.

One Tree Hill was close too, but I didn't go up there much.
