  • London Parks and Open Spaces Part 1
    LONDON PARKS AND OPEN SPACES Mary Fraser March 2018 London is one of the greenest cities of its size in the world. One fifth of London is designated publicly accessible green space. There are 3,000 public green spaces from heaths, commons and large parks to playing fields, playgrounds, canal towpaths, city farms, nature reserves, allotments etc. This paper deals mainly with the larger parks in central London which have the longest history. PART 1 – HISTORY OF LONDON PARKS TO 1980 ROYAL PARKS The first parks open to the public but not public parks were the royal parks – Hyde Park, St James’s Park, Green Park, Regent’s Park, Greenwich and Richmond Parks. St James’s Park and Hyde Park were opened to the public in the 17th century and used first by the fashionable few but by the early 1800 Hyde Park was popular with a wider public and swimming in the Serpentine or watching it was a popular pastime. Week- long festivities in Hyde Park in 1814 for the centenary of the House of Hanover drew big crowds so many had experience of the pleasure of parks. The new Regent’s Park was opened to the public in 1835. But these parks were not easily accessible for many communities living in the densely populated areas of expanding industrial London. EARLY PLANS FOR PUBLIC PARKS Urban parks had existed on the continent for some time, especially in France and Germany. Munich had a public park, the Englische Garten , in 1789. It was only in 1833 that the British government set up a Select Committee to investigate the best means of “securing open spaces in the vicinity of populous towns as public walks and places of exercise to promote the health and comfort of the inhabitants.” Their report stressed the moral and spiritual value afforded by these public spaces: Your Committee feel convinced that some Open Places reserved for the amusement (under due regulations to preserve order) of the humbler classes, would assist to wean them from low and debasing pleasures.
