John52 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Seeing pictures of Londons parks too crowded to allow social distancing, could they be allowed to social distance by spreading out in to Buckingham Palace Gardens? Use one of the Royal Palaces so England can have a People's Palace. Like Scotland has in Glasgow :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most Londoners haven't space outside. So should her unelected majesty spare them one of our palaces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People generally did seem to be distancing , because of the camera angle it tends to show people closer. Outside is better than inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 London is, some what surprisingly, one of the 'greenest' major cities, with plenty of open spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew gardens is huge and plenty of space even on busy days, same with Richmond park too. Bushy park is smaller but less known so generally only frequented by locals.

CurtainRaiser Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I was lucky enough to live in Regent's park for eight years, yes London has a lot of green spaces, but it's also got a lot of people that live in densely populated housing. TV coverage of the London park's during the first sunny lockdown reflects the need for public spaces. A lot of what counts towards London being the greenest city is off limits to Joe Public.

Not in the actual city......there wouldn't be enough room for a tiny lawn never mind a park or garden! Obviously I meant the boroughs. Where else could you find herds of wild deer roaming free.....apart from Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
