London is one of the most green cities in the world. In this video, we share our favourite 13 London parks that we visit most often. After 5 years of filming and numerous visits, we know these parks really well and show how you can best experience them each, as they are great free things to do in London. From popular parks like Hyde Park, Regents Park and Richmond Park, to more local options such as Holland Park, Victoria Park and Greenwich Park, we cover them all.

CENTRAL HOTEL in London suggestion. Anywhere near here is great location.

  • EARLY VIEWERS, hello! Which London Parks are your favourite? What London guides should I do next? The next video I'm already working on is our epic trip to Jordan, which is a special place that I think will surprise you when you see it. Can't wait to share! Also, Canada will be later in the year also and was incredibly breathtaking. Looking forward to editing that footage together!
  • Absolutely love all your videos. My UK trip is going to be full of your recommendations. Thanks.
  • I just love every video you make. Your humor cracks me up! And I love all the shots you include of your wife- so sweet (:
  • Hello sir. Although I am not from London (will be soon), I love to watch your videos because of your video quality and narration. Keep up the good work
  • @robertbl7500
    Your videos are next level/above & beyond!! This one is pure organic and beautiful!! ✌️
  • Nice video, thank you! We love London and we've visited 6 times already since 2014 (coming september will be our 7th time). Visiting the parks is always a highlight for us, so it's nice to get some new inspiration. St James Park is my favorite so far. Followed by Kensington Gardens.
  • Regent Park is my default park whenever I visit, close to Horseguards and Buck House, perfect location for when I visit and have limited time
  • @dluxdiy
    Love all of your videos! I almost choked on my breakfast with your "thanks Charles" comment 😂 Our next UK trip will be much more rich due to your hard work. So glad we found your channel!
  • @art_nouvelle
    Thank you for this. I lived in London for a year and still didn't get to discover all the parks. Could you make a video about London's best pubs? There seem to be many in every borough, but I would like to see your take on the most iconic ones.
  • I have only been to London twice, but this video brings me back to some of my favorite places, primarily St. James Park. My wife and daughter are leaving for London mid August and I am sure this will give them some ideas.
  • I love Kew gardens that I've visited a dozen times, at least. I also like Regent's park a lot, especially the rose garden, waterfall and merman and mermaids fountain. St James's Park is nice too.
  • @margarets1449
    I enjoyed seeing the parks in different seasons. We are planning to travel to London in March or April of 2023. We will definitely focus on seeing the parks (something we failed to do the first time we were in London). It looks like we will see some lovely blooms along with other beautiful sights in the parks. Also, thank you for the tips about the best access into the parks. Hampstead Heath and Richmond Park were my favorites, but it was difficult to choose. I look forward to all of your posts! Thank you!

    Another great park is Wanstead Park, it’s pretty big at 140 acres and full of ponds, lakes, wildlife and woods, it’s grade ll listed and has a fascinating history as it was the gardens of one of the largest Manor Houses in England.
  • @peacevkw
    I wish I can travel to England late spring 2023. Already postponed my trip since 2020 due to the pandemic. I ❤ parks and gardens, I can literally can spend hours strolling in the parks. London has multiple beautiful parks, my favourite is Hyde park, Richmond and Regent.
  • @jaklg7905
    This was fabulous. I am in the planning process of a London trip and am planning on staying at least two weeks to see as much as possible. I love gardens, they are so peaceful and unfortunately, I live in a place that does not have a lot of green space. I would love to see "what to do by month" videos, showing what is best to do depending on what month you are traveling. Thank you for your wonderful content.
  • Love your channel, I love how you take the viewer on a journey. I always hear London has the best Indian food outside of India, have you thought about a best Indian food in London episode ? Thanks 🙏🏾
  • I love London park all my favorites park greenwich park and Richmond park
  • @DramaSara81
    I absolutley LOVE your sense of humor in your videos, part of the charm of following you! Thank you for nice tourist tips with a warm and happy vibe to it!
  • You’re definitely not short of parks when visiting London. Thank you for the guide!
  • @nagij57
