Join Hunter Davies on a celebratory stroll around London’s
greatest glories – its parks. We need our parks more than ever
before, for our health and spirits, our bodies and souls, to keep
us fit, to save us from pollution, to protect nature and wildlife;
and Londoners are lucky enough to enjoy more green spaces than any
other major city in the world. In London Parks, Hunter Davies
illustrates their wonders by spending a year walking round his
favourite parks. From his local haunt on Hampstead Heath to
the capital’s latest wonder, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park,
each one is chosen for its unique appeal. Informative and
entertaining, he details their history, describes their
layout and reveals hidden delights and new attractions that might
otherwise be missed, such as the statue of a small brown dog in
Battersea Park, a garden full of exotic plants and palm trees in
south London’s Burgess Park or, for something completely unique,
Ian Dury’s musical memorial bench in Richmond Park. Fun,
thought-provoking and uplifting, London Parks is an essential
companion for anyone wishing to explore the ever-green beauty of
Britain’s capital city, whether it’s spotting pelicans and
politicians in St James’s Park, the birds in the London Wetland
Centre or the views from Greenwich Park.
