Parks
A lively green space in east London
Known as the ‘People’s Park’, Victoria Park is one of London’s favourite open spaces.
In the summer it’s often taken over by festivals like Field Day and Lovebox.
In the autumn park-goers are treated to epic fireworks displays, but that’s not all: parts of the park are Grade II-listed and it was originally landscaped by the famous architect Sir James Pennethorne in 1842. Worth looking out for are the Dogs of Alcibiades statues, Burdett-Coutts Fountain and two stone alcoves from the original London Bridge.
There are two expansive lakes (one with a Chinese pagoda island), a boating pond and Vicky Park is wonderful for youngsters: the V&A Playground is equipped with swings and other bits and bobs to play on and the fantastically designed Pools Playground encourages creative play.
It’s also the place to go for outdoor pursuits with tennis courts, a bowling green and running track, plus football and cricket pitches. And if you work up a thirst? There's the Pavilion Café, where you can grab a bite to eat before kicking back in the splendour of Pennethorne's lovely vision.

This gloriously green space is the oldest enclosed Royal park.
Formerly a hunting ground for Henry VIII, the park still maintains a vast 183-acre grassland enclosure, which provides an urban sanctuary for deer, foxes and over 70 species of bird.
As one of the largest green spaces in south east London, Greenwich Park offers a wide range of facilities and points of interest, including a child-friendly boating lake, six tennis courts, the Queen's House and the National Maritime Museum.
Greenwich Park is also home to the impressive Royal Observatory with the Greenwich Meridian Line - representing the prime meridian relative to which world time is calculated (and the distance to every place on Earth is measured).
A filming location:
A setting you have to see to believe, various parts of Greenwich Park are often used as filming locations, so it's not unusual to spot a famous face or two. Films that have been shot there include Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), Layer Cake (2004), and Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). Plus, the views from the top of Greenwich Park are pretty spectacular and span across to Canary Wharf, St Paul's Cathedral and beyond.
If you don't mind the exercise, then it's well worth the trek.

One of London’s biggest farms. Mudchute Farm's main attraction is the Equestrian Centre, a riding school with an all-weather arena and show jumps. There is an ever-popular café on site and is still serving brilliant breakfasts.
The farm itself is surprisingly compact with some animals just wandering about in the fields, plus a petting zoo and duck pond.
Some of the best residents include a Manx Loaghtan named Juliet (it’s a type of sheep, duh) and a turkey who enjoys hearing ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’. The alpacas, Clause and Columbus, have better manners than their long-faced llama cousins, who have a tendency to spit. Charming.
