Battersea Park

Battersea Park makes for great strolling territory with its riverside location and diverse range of areas, from large open green spaces to the festival gardens with its café and the romantic Old English Garden.

A walk along Battersea Park’s riverside, from Albert Bridge to Chelsea Bridge, allows views inwards of the parks’ varied spaces and outwards to the liveliness of the Thames. Enjoy a golden hour walk for sunset views and watch as the properties and skyline north of the river twinkle into action.

Leith Hill

A walk best timed for the clearest of days, Leith Hill makes for a fantastic woodland adventure that’ll certainly get hearts pumping.

Designated both an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the choice of paths to take, abundance of wildlife and striking views atop the hill make a visit here a truly wholesome experience.

The view from the tower’s top provides scenes of London to the north and the English Channel to the south – there’s lots to spot through the binoculars from the highest point in south-east England!

Gather the family, and blow away the cobwebs on a clear, sunny day to enjoy some time amongst nature, grateful for the bucolic expanses on your doorstep.
