Best Parks in London

Guide: Royal Parks, Heaths, and Canal Walks

London's parks are not pauses from the city; they are part of its operating system. Hyde Park and Regent's Park give the royal scale, Hampstead Heath gives the lungs and the view, Richmond Park adds deer and distance, Greenwich Park drops toward the river, and Regent's Canal turns the whole thing into a walkable thread. Use this when the city starts to feel too hard-edged and you need air without leaving London behind.
