    This is a lovely park. we brought our four year old granddaughter and we all loved it. Large grassy…read moreareas for running, picnicking, and playing ball. Playground equipment for kids of all ages and it is right next to Spitalfield City Farm, which is free of charge. You could easily spend an entire afternoon here. Highly recommend this for families with young children.

    If there is a magical place on Earth (that is not in Florida, USA), Allen Gardens has certainly won…read morethe title! In one of my walks around Shoreditch/Brick Lane area I stumbled upon this park with a playground for grown ups. I mean, SERIOUSLY? Me and my friend couldn't resist ,and we spent about 2h playing in all the games that were there. A lot of people come to have pic-nics, walk their dogs and play (like me!). The view is quite nice, and you can also watch the London Overground running above you. If you walk all the way till the end, you will face the Hackney City Farm's fence, and you can even see some animals hanging out. Something there is also very curious (but I don't have any information about) is the big house in the middle of the lawn - I'm not sure if someone still lives there, but from far away it looks a little haunted. This garden was for residents use only, but not so long ago, considering the development and growth of the area, it became public. I should have won you with "playground for grown ups", but if I still haven't convinced you this is a nice place, go check! :)

    Russia Dock woodland is one of my favourite nature-y places in London. I cannot describe how happy…read moreI was, the first time I got lost jogging and stumbled upon this gorgeous maze of pretty paths and perfect puppy (or rabbit) walking areas! There are sections of wilderness and mini nature reserves to encourage wildlife...along with larger green areas (perfect for picnics) and even a hill that looks over Canary Wharf, the city and gives fantastic views all the way over to the London eye! There are entrances to the woodland from all sides; near Greenland docks, from several spots along the Thames pathway, near Canada Water station and from all the surrounding suburban-ish housing that surrounds it. Kids and dogs that live in this area are really lucky to have such a fun place to play! Highlights: * Stave Hill - the artificial hill in the middle of the woodlands with fantastic views over London. It's a good place to watch the sun rise or set. We watched the Tornado and Eurofighter from up here during the Royal wedding in 2011. * Rabbit walking(!) - A couple of times when I have met friends here for a picnic, we have seen someone walking their pet rabbit in the park. It is sooo cute! * Paths to wander around and get lost in - There are loads of teeny paths through the woodlands which make this a fantastic place to explore. I don't think I have ever been through the same way twice!

    This is the best kept secret in London. So much so, that even many local residents don't know about…read morethis park, hidden away in the leafy Rotherhithe peninsula. So what's so special about Russia Dock Woodland? The history, where this whole area served as the London docks, accepting imports from across Europe, and the world. During the war, this area was pretty badly hit and was eventually redeveloped as a mid-density residential area. But Rotherhithe, a very underrated part of London, is slap-bang in between the glistening skyscrapers or Canary Wharf and the hustle-bustle of London Bridge. For whatever reason, Rotherhithe managed to carve itself as a quiet, scenic and pretty part of the city, where rental prices haven't quite veered into the ridiculous. The centre of this peninsula is filled up with Russia Dock Woodland, or as it's also known, Stave Hill Ecological Park. It's very easy to get lost in here, but it won't be long before you work out your bearings - there are docks all around the park, and the centre of the woodland boasts it's 'piece de resistance'. Stave Hill. After all the rubble had been gathered together, it was all dumped into an artificial hill, which became Stave Hill. And this unique location means you're right between Canary Wharf, and the City of London. Climb the steps up this hill, to be afford one of the best views anywhere in the city. And there's even a great iron-wrought model of the local area. And the best part? This isn't a tourist honeytrap. It's not even overrun with locals. Most the time when you come up here, it'll be completely empty, and you'll be King of the Hill!
