London is home to some of the world's most iconic green spaces, from the elegant landscapes of Regent's Park and Hyde Park to the tranquil escapes of Hampstead Heath and Richmond Park.
Whether it's a daily stroll through beautifully maintained gardens, a swim in the Hampstead ponds or a family afternoon spotting deer in Richmond Park, the capital's parks offer a balance of nature, wellbeing and city living.
Their appeal attracts residents at every stage of life, with this desirability reflected in property values. According to Savills Research (Q2 2026), second-hand homes within 50 metres of a park command a 37% premium in prime central London and an 11% premium in outer prime London.
Here’s a selection of our favourites and, for those keen to move close to the capital’s great outdoors, a look at some of the residential schemes nearby.
The largest of London’s Royal Parks covering an area of 2,500 acres, Richmond Park is famed for its Red and Fallow deer, which have roamed freely since 1637.
Just over a mile from the park are the apartments and houses of Richmond Square. The development has views over the Old Deer Park, north towards Kew Gardens, east towards central London and inwards over terraces and a landscaped courtyard.
