Always has been my favourite thing about London compared to Paris, NYC, etc.
No doubt London is a lot greener than a lot of major cities, but this is the weirdest method I’ve ever heard of for measuring greenness. Ranking by Google reviews of green spaces? Bit of a stretch.
>To get their data, Freepik mined TripAdvisor’s ‘Nature and Parks’ section of the 100 most popular cities worldwide, eliminated attractions with less than ten reviews, then collected the number of Google reviews and average star rating for the remaining 2,300 green spaces.
Skewd for countries where tripadvisor/Google mals aren’t commonly used.
Leafy London
It’s very pink at the moment with all the trees in flower
The greenest is Seoul. It has about 500,000 Parks. 😬
Not surprising. It’s a very underrated aspect of living in London. Absolutely love that about the city !!
This is why no one trusts the media
London is classed as a forest due to number of trees
I find this very difficult to believe, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore are inside rainforests.
London is officially classified as a forest based on the number of trees per sq km.
Sorry but it absolutely isn’t.
London is between 48-51% green covered. Assuming the higher number, it would rank as 74th greenest city in Germany, just ahead of Munich with 50% green cover, but way behind Siegen with 86%… and that’s just one country!
Think I’ve mentioned this before.
London is the only city on earth that is classed as a forest city.
UN states that forest clarification is 8 million trees minimum.
where would Timeout be without the perennial “absolute BS so-called ‘study’ some PR agency have pulled out their collective arses”
they’ll never tire of knocking out 100 words about any of them.
And liebour wants to destroy all our green land for unless wind farms and solar panels. Ed Miliband sold the country out by taking a handout from a friend he knows who owns a solar and wind energy company. Giving the company a multi-billion pound contract.

London has more than 8 million trees.
So the UN classed London as a forest city.
