London Parks, England Suburban Pine trees, Green Belt Walks and June Roses
London is surrounded by 'the green belt'. Building restrictions are designed to stop developments on fields and high density buildings. (Although local residents and councils are locked in constant battles with appeals to planning committees.)
London is known for its parks. You will find a green park next to Green Park station. One stop from Piccadilly underground station is Green Park underground station. You might come up the stairs next to the block with the Ritz hotel and find yourself by the entrance to the park. If you are opposite that station exit, just cross the road at the lights - or if you prefer, go down again and check the exit for the other side of the road and use the underground station as a way of crossing the road.
South London
Going South you have Kew Gardens. Wimbledon. (City types would head for cosmopolitan Brixton markets.)
North London
If you are staying out of London or want a walk, you can take lots of walks following signposts from stations such as Hatch End where the walk goes along the old Grim's Dyke from centuries ago.
If you don't have the shoes for walking along grassy paths, or prefer to stay within sight of houses, it's very pleasant to walk along the historic buildings in Hatch End, Pinner, Rayners Lane (art deco), or Harrow. Free to walk. Brick built semis made from bricks in London's red clay, although you'll also see road names like Chalk Hill. The most historic area is Harrow on the Hill.
This is suburban Hatch End. Pine trees lean across the side streets. Gardens in June show roses. Other flowers include the poppy.
