Thus, it is no surprise that it has been voted as the greenest city in the world of its size.

London very soon aims to be declared a national park. It has the greenest and the most picturesque park all around the city. Whether you go to North London or East London, it has some of the best parks in the world.

There is no better place to soak in the famous London summer than the famous London parks. Here is a list of my favorite London parks to visit when in London.

Hampstead Heath

Hampstead Heath is a park that has fields for you to run, ponds for you to swim and woods for you to hide in. It provides a great view of the city of London that brings visitors back again and again. Being a part of North London it provides the locals a chance to be with nature while still experiencing the hustle and bustle of being in jungle of concrete. It is a perfect spot for flying kites and is dotted with pubs around the edges of the park.

Golders Hill Park

The Golders hill park is situated right next to the Hampstead Heath Park. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbor, it is a beautiful place where you have lovely flowerbeds. There are little secret gardens where you can reach by treading on the little paths in the garden. There is also a very nice petting zoo in the garden.

Regents Park
