Parks & Nature

This is one of the largest and certainly the best park in London. You can go walk or jog for a long while without passing the same trail twice, and without seeing many people either (especially true during the week). The park offers a couple nice cafes, a farmers' market, and stunning views of London. Not to mention the natural ponds and lido where you can take a bath, wonderful.

This is a small, yet charming park. There are a couple cafes and ponds. Lots of trees, dog walkers. It is right above Highgate Cemetary, where you will find Karl Marx' tomb. Waterlow Park leads to lively Highgate, great for local shopping, brunch, cafes and restaurants.
