Parker i London
Der findes en lang række Parker i London, England.
Grønne områder i det Centrale London består af fem af hovedstadens otte kongelige parker, der er suppleret af mange små garden squares der er spredt rundt i hele byen. Åbne områder i restne af regionen bliver domineret af de tre øvrige Royal Parks og mange andre parker og åbne områder i varierende størrelse, der primært bliver drevet af de lokale London boroughs, selvom nogle er inkluderet i National Trust og City of London Corporation.
London består af 40% offentlige grønne områder, inklusive 3.000 parker der drækker over 141.000 ha.[1][2]
