How much of London is green space?
London was recognised as the world's first National Park City in July 2019, and nearly half the city is green or blue space. With around 3,000 parks and an estimated 8.4 million trees, over a fifth of the capital is tree cover alone, enough to qualify as a forest under the United Nations definition.
