Outdoors & Nature

The best parks and green spaces in London, for a sunny day and for a cold wet one: there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.

Horniman's Triangle

A meadow across the road from the Horniman, left long instead of mown, with a playground and a sandpit in one corner.

Parks & commonsWildlifeFree

It is a field rather than a park: grass left to grow, a fringe of trees, and no paths laid across it. The playground on the London Road corner has a large sandpit and a climbing area, and there is a café. Local memory says the ground was never built on because it is a plague pit, which is where the name people use for it comes from; nothing has ever been found to show it is true. Three ways in, from London Road, Sydenham Rise and Sydenham Hill.
