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.
