Guidebook for London
Parks & Nature
This is showing up as "Stoker Advertising Limited", but I am actually trying to show where the closest entrance to Wandsworth Common is!
Awesome London park. Big green spaces, tree lined paths, well equipped kids playground, great cafe, public open air exercise equipment (pull up bars etc), wildlife area (small lake), tennis courts (need to be pre-booked).
Great for strolls (rain or shine), exercising, letting the kids play or go for a mini adventure.
Walk all the way across the park to Bellevue Road and reward yourself with a pint or meal at one of the many pubs or restaurants facing the common on that stretch.
