The greenest London boroughs for families

Frequently asked questions

Which London borough has the most green space?

Barking and Dagenham tops this ranking. Richmond upon Thames, Bromley, Havering and Kingston upon Thames are perennial favourites for park access — half of Richmond Park sits inside the borough, and Bromley has more of the Green Belt than any other London authority.

Are inner-London boroughs green?

Some pockets are outstanding — Hampstead in Camden, Dulwich in Southwark, the fringes of Regent's Park and Hyde Park. Score depends on which specific postcode you'd live in, so the postcode-level report is honest at the level you actually buy.

Does this measure park quality or just count?

Count and proximity, not quality. A pocket park counts the same as Hampstead Heath. That's a limitation — we prioritise walkable access ("can my kid get to a park before losing patience?") over rating each park individually.
