Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in South Heath

"For any list of the best parks in London, it’d be a crime to ignore Hampstead Heath. Closest to the Hampstead Heath overground, or the Hampstead station if you’re going via tube, here you can enjoy your sandwiches on top of Parliament Hill while taking in stunning views of London. It’s even got its very own swimming ponds should the weather be particularly nice."

"Part of what makes Hampstead Heath so special is its wild beauty — check it out in all its rugged glory here. The other part is the stunning views of the capital it boasts, which makes the heath perfect for picnics, as does its proximity to some stellar delis and bakeries. It's also a cracking choice for a weekend ramble — thesetwo take in much of the Heath."

"Elevate your London perspective – Hampstead Heath is one of the best places in London to see the city skyline. In fact, the view from Parliament Hill in the south-east corner of the park is protected by law. Make the hike up the 322-foot (98-metre) hill and you'll be rewarded with views of Canary Wharf, St Paul's Cathedral and many more top London sights."

Head to Victoria Park, or "Vicky Park" if you ask a local, to explore the canals, ponds and pavilion in the capital's first public park. Bordering Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, you'll find plenty of places for sport and events during the summer months."

"Victoria Park isn’t the quietest of spots (it’s known as the People’s Park and is one of the most popular outdoor spaces in London), but it has lots to offer. Whether you fancy perusing it’s variety of gardens and lakes or taking a walk around the Victoria Park Market on a Sunday, there’s something for everyone to enjoy."

"Located in South Hackney, Victoria Park is the oldest public park in London. It’s packed full of canals and ponds as well as a large green space for a kick-about or a kip in the sunshine. For more things to do, there’s also a deer enclosure, tree walk events and café in the heart of the park."

"St George’s Gardens used to be a graveyard, but nowadays, the calm and tranquil green space is one of Bloomsbury’s most beloved parks. It’s one of the many green spaces in Bloomsbury, which is also known as the leafy neighbourhood of London, and offers seating areas ideal for scenic, city centre picnics."

"This superb example of a Georgian garden was created for the Temple family by the most famous gardeners of the 18th century. Capability…"

"A family-owned diamond in the rough on the main strip of Green Street around the corner from Upton Park station. Shanghai Chinese has the look of that typical old-school neighbourhood Chinese takeaway joint, and has actually been around for over 30 years. Open for day and evening service takeaway."

"Keeping vegan doesn’t mean you have to go without cookies as long as Ms. Cupcake in Brixton is around. Understandably, cupcakes are the cornerstone of this vegan bakery, but of course, it also offers cookies and cookie sandwiches with delicious icing in-between. If you’re starting out on the road to veganism, Ms. Cupcake has plenty of baking supplies and cookbooks as well as offering classes to help you eat healthier."

"A post shared by Ms. Cupcake - Vegan Bakery (@mscupcakeuk) on May 10, 2018 at 12:50pm PDT. London's first entirely vegan bakery, Ms Cupcake doesn't let a little thing like no butter, eggs, milk, cheese or honey stand in her way. Head down to the Brixton outlet to stock up on her creative results: including freshly baked cupcakes, cookies, savouries and more besides."

"Ms. Cupcakes is London’s first vegan confessionary shop that specializes in cupcakes located in Brixton. I don’t really go for Vegan food bit these cupcakes are wonderful. They also offer brownies, cookies, tray-bakes."

"Franzè & Evans, in Shoreditch, East London, anchors one end of trendy Redchurch Street just before it flows into Bethnal Green Road. They serve interesting breakfasts and modern Italian lunches, but it’s also the best place I know for a breather after a day of hipster shopping. It’s perfectly located, an oasis at the end of this street of expensive, avant garde boutiques and underground designer shops too cool for signs."
