One of the things you realise being in London is that we should take our gardens outside of the city for granted. We have these gardens, often overgrown, full of rubbish and whatever junk we can’t fit in the house – but in London? You’d be lucky to have even a potted plant to call your own. Instead in London we see the inclusion of bigger public spaces to make up for the lack of personal, private ones.
You see commons, gardens, fields all being appropriated by the public for their use. You can use them for exercise, use them for parties, for picnics or for any other kind of activity. Given that space is at a premium in London, those people looking for a little nature of their own will have to make do with these larger spaces instead of having one to call their own.
