"A hidden South London gem. From the outlook Peckham Rye looks like any other wide open park in London but walk a little further and you'll find a maze of Japanese and American gardens. There's ponds, geese, tropical birds, wild flowers, pegodas, even a real life Peckham Spring!"

"Kennington Park seems too small to be much of a draw to anyone who doesn't live very locally, but when you delve a little deeper there's lots on offer.
There are the usual amenities - space for joggers, outdoor gym, a playground, tennis courts. But there's also a little cafe, and a garden supported by lottery funding. More excitingly, I've only recently noticed a bee sanctuary (called Bee Urban) which is open for learning about bees and experiencing bee-ing a hiver but also for mead tasting! There's always something more to explore.
Kennington Park is also conveniently located for the Saturday Oval Farmer's Market - so grab a custard tart and find a spot on the grass!" Tara P, Timeout

Greenwich Park boasts the honour of being the oldest enclosed Royal Park. Formerly a hunting ground for Henry VIII, the park still maintains a 13-acre grassland enclosure, which provides an urban sanctuary for deer, foxes and over 70 species of bird. 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 and the National Maritime Museum just on the perimeter. The views from the top of the hill across to Canary Wharf and beyond are spectacular, and well worth the trek.

"At 1.5 miles long and about a mile wide, Hyde Park is one of the largest of London's Royal Parks. The land was appropriated in 1536 from the monks of Westminster Abbey by Henry VIII for hunting deer and, despite opening to the public in the early 1600s, was only frequented by the upper echelons of society. London's oldest boating lake, The Serpentine, is at the bottom of Hyde Park. Is home to ducks, coots, swans and tufty-headed grebes, and is also of great historic interest. The Joy of Life fountain, next to Aldford Street North Gate, alongside Park Lane, is a popular spot for splashing around in when the weather heats up" Timeout
