More parks have been added for the new edition including the new Queen Elizabeth Park in Stratford.

This authoritative guide contains detailed reviews of London’s park and gardens, and offers fascinating accounts of their history as well as practical information about opening times, sports facilities and the chances of finding a good coffee.

“Where can you walk among dinosaurs, see pink flamingos on a roof garden or cycle past deer whose ancestors were hunted by Charles I?”
