Outdoor Activities in South London Parks

The 200 acres of green space is definitely something to boast about. This elegant park equipped with beautiful shady trees was originated in 1858 by Queen Victoria. With plenty of attractions including the Park Zoo, and art from the Pump House Gallery a day in this city park will simply slip away. While in this district, dine in one of foodie Paolo Pirones favorite eateries San Gennaro, which is located on 22 Battersea Park Road.
 

Richmond Park is the largest of the Royal Family Parks covering 2,500 acres. Every year millions of visitors come to this natural preserve to enjoy Isabella Plantation, a woodland garden filled with exotic plants. This park showcases some of the most magnificent wildlife with 144 bird species, and over 300 red deer and fallow -- don’t forget your camera! Check the calendar of upcoming events.

Brush up on London's history while visiting historic Greenwich Park. This park was the birthplace of numerous monarchs including Henry VII and his two daughters Mary I and Elizabeth I. Enjoy the many activities like a child-friendly boating lake, six tennis courts and the National Maritime Museum. Gaze at the breathtaking views along the Thames River and magnificent sights such as St. Paul's Cathedral! 

Clapham Common offers acres of green space, a handful of cafes and a number of sport facilities. Clapham is also home to one of London's largest bandstands, which hosts a selection of concerts during the summer months. After a day at the park pop into the popular restaurant Abbeville for an imaginative British menu.
