'Nature' within distance of London?

[LiE]

Where ever you go, make sure there is a KFC nearby you can take your lady friend too..

 

[opethdisciple]

Lol!

We are going to Richmond Park.

Next stupid question. Are there proper path ways or will we be walking and getting muddy?

I.e do I need a spare pair of shoes.

Thanks

Hampstead Heath, generally I find wherever people like to cottage at the weekend there's plenty of 'Nature'.......................

The lady friend wants me to take her to 'nature' tomorrow.

are you sure you have understood her correctly?

unless it pours with rain you can walk anywhere, there are proper paths though if you dont want to mess your shoes

I would say Virginia water/Windsor Great park is far more scenic. The deer in Richmond/Bushy are cool but once you get over them you realize that the place is full of dog walkers and teenagers getting stoned.

North london you have the entirety of the lea valley close by.

Yep, I live pretty much next door to Walthamstow Wetlands, which is surprisingly nature-y for Zone 3.

You can see plenty of pond life in London. For the more tree-bound varieties, I recommend going to Brixton at 1am on a Sunday morning.

You may need spare underwear, if the lions have not been put in their enclosure before you arrive.

If you live North London then you should definitely go to Hampstead Heath. Shouldn't be too busy this time of year, and it'll save you at least an hour's travelling time compared to going to Richmond Park.

 

[something daft already!!]

Grow some cress.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Erm, Richmond Park in London itself?

First place that comes to mind.

But beware of the closing time, they literally lock the gates.

Yes, and make sure your vacinations are up to date.

I would recommened taking a survival course before you go, i've got Bear Grylls' phone number, i'll trust it to you

Bushy

Been awhile - used to go there regularly as a child. I have a strong memory of the gates in as for some daft reason just as we were turning in there as a 6-7 year old I decided to pull out the cigarette lighter socket in the car and press my thumb on it! I have no idea why - but I won't forget that in a hurry.

There's a few nature reserves dotted around North and central London.

Richmond Park might do!

Don't forget to take a dog along with you, perhaps called Fenton?

 

[-UnderClocker-]

Kew Gardens!

 

[Dave]

When we lived down in SW London we regularly haunted Kew Gardens / Richmond Park / Bushy Park. The South Downs is a pretty quick train journey from Clapham too if you want to get out of London - plenty of nice walks around Burgess Hill, Lewes, Seaford-Eastbourne etc.

There's foxes everywhere in London. That counts as nature. Take her to a dingy boozer and wait for a couple to pass by. Box ticked.
