Our Map of the Month for April 2022 is the London National Park City- Greater London Area Urban Nature Map by Urban Good.
See London differently and explore its open spaces. This map is a resource to encourage more awareness and more action for people and nature, to help put nearby nature in everyday lives.
It shows London: the world’s first National Park City. The massive map includes all of the parks, woodlands, playing fields, national nature reserves, city farms, rivers, lakes, and all the spaces that contribute to London’s parkland. Some of the most iconic walks through and around London are drawn, such as the London Loop and Capital Ring, along with symbols marking places to swim outdoors, climb peaks, pitch a tent, or go sailing.
Furthermore, the maps are part of a great campaign to make London ‘greener, healthier and wilder’ as the world’s first National Park City.
First published in 2017, this new edition has cleaner labels and more epic walks across the capital.
