London Parks
The Best London Parks Directory
London is a green city, with parks and gardens scattered throughout its neighborhoods. For residents and visitors alike, these parks provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. But with so many parks to choose from, which ones are the best?
To narrow it down (at least a bit), we’ve compiled a list and provided an interactive map of just under 100 parks and green spaces. Hyde Park is one of the largest parks in the city, and it’s perfect for a leisurely stroll or an energetic game of tennis. Primrose Hill provides sweeping views of London’s skyline, making it a popular spot for sunset picnics. If you’re looking for something a little more off the beaten path, try Hampstead Heath, a sprawling park with wooded areas, ponds, and meadows. Richmond Park is perfect for a summer day, with its wide open spaces and majestic deer population.
And finally, no list of London’s best parks would be complete without mention of Regent’s Park, which is home to the world-famous London Zoo. So whether you’re looking for a place to relax or explore, be sure to check out one of these five parks, or scroll down for plenty more options.

More To Do and London Seat Filling, Too!
We’re all about fun and affordable (or free) things to do in London and across the US.
The OTL City Guides includes a dedicated London City Guide with directories, event calendars, and restaurant recommendations. But we leave the comments, negativity, and biased reviews to social media and shopping sites. Instead, OTL City Guides provides resources and suggestions for Things to Do, Things to Eat, and Things to Learn. Then, YOU decide.
That doesn’t mean we don’t welcome contributions, though. If you have a directory addition, blog post, or discount to share, just use the handy submission form.
London Seat Fillers
Oh, and did you know that OTL has a sister site – OTL Seat Fillers? The club has been in London for more than seven years, providing members with free pairs of tickets to local theatre, comedy, music, sports, and more.
Seat filling also benefits the arts and entertainment communities. Venue partners end up with a bigger audience, more food and beverage income, and new patrons.
How Does Seat Filling Work?
- When a local venue (aka OTL Seat Fillers entertainment partner) anticipates having some open seats, they privately invite seat fillers to attend, offering a number of free admissions.
- OTL posts the opportunity in the members-only area.
- Interested seat fillers make an online reservation through OTL.
- OTL compiles the reservation list and sends it to the venue partner on the day of the event.
- Seat Fillers present their IDs to pick up their complimentary tickets at the venue right before the show starts (just like other patrons picking up tickets at Will Call).
London Parks – FAQs
Where to start? With eight Royal Parks and countless other green spaces with walking trails, picnic tables, and activities, it’s challenging to narrow the list of best parks in London. However, a few of the largest and most prominent include Richmond Park, Regent’s Park, and Hyde Park.
The London Guide on OTLCityGuides.com has a page dedicated to London parks. It includes a map and a list of locations with park websites.
