Ideal for a sunny day. And for a cold rainy day: "There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing".
Three hundred hectares of Enfield Chase, Henry IV's hunting ground, around the house where bugged German generals talked the war away.

The land was part of Enfield Chase, the medieval hunting ground of the kings, until George III leased it in 1777 to Sir Richard Jebb, his favourite doctor, for curing the King's brother at Trento, which gave the estate its name. Philip Sassoon rebuilt the house in the 1920s with bricks from the demolished Devonshire House and filled it with Churchill, Chaplin and Shaw at weekends; in the Second World War it held captured German generals, whose rooms were wired and whose conversations were transcribed by listeners in the basement, a story the museum in the house now tells. Middlesex University had the campus until 2012, and the parkland has been a country park since 1973: lakes, an obelisk, an orangery and a Japanese water garden among old oaks and open grass, with the Piccadilly line at the gate.
