About the London National Park City

London National Park City, put simply, is a movement to improve life in London.

It will mean residents, visitors and partners working together to: 

• Enjoy London’s great outdoors more
• Make the city greener, healthier and wilder
• Promote London’s identity as a National Park City

We want more bird song, more clean air, more ultimate frisbee, more tree climbing, more sharing, more cycling, more hedgehogs, more volunteering, more hill-rolling, more outdoor play, more kayaking, more otters, greener streets, more outdoor learning, more ball games, more outdoor art and yes, more dancing in the city. Why not?

You can discover more about the London National Park City on the National Park City website. 

The National Park City Foundation has led the campaign for London to be declared a National Park City and has set the vision, brand and tone for the London National Park City. In 2021 Adelaide, Australia was declared as the World's second National Park City and we have other cities on the journey to becoming National Park Cities.
