    A huge park that's perfect for talking long walks along the Thames. Nice fresh air, fields for picnics and scenic views of Albert Bridge. What more could you want from a park?

    One of my favourite parks in London, some lanes for slowly biking and taking in nice weather. Has also a mini zoo, a pagoda, lakes, botanical gardens and view to the Thames so it's very cool

    London's best kept secret. Easily the most beautiful and versatile park in London. Go Ape zip line, lake, kiddy zoo and art gallery amongst other things.

    What a wonderful park! Definitely worth hiring a bike or heading out on a boat on the lake. Tandem bikes are £20 for an hour.

    Along the path east of Henry Moore's "Three Standing Figures" is the largest hybrid strawberry tree in Britain. No strawberries, though.

    If taking the car, take plenty of change for the parking. It's quite expensive. Or you can use the Park mobile app on your phone.

    Behind the Pump House is a statue of a brown dog. In 1985 it replaced the original, removed in 1910 when it became a focus of riots between medical students and animal rights campaigners.

    Originally called Battersea Fields, this is where the Duke of Wellington fought a duel with the Earl of Winchelsea in 1829 over the issue of giving civil rights to Catholics. Both men missed.
