Carbon Neutral Activities & Wellbeing in our Cities - London Parks
Alexander Chau · March 29, 2023 · 1 min read
Around a third of the Greater London area is covered by vegetation, with up to 436 hectares of tree canopy cover. If you know where to look, you’ll find plenty of green spaces to unwind in - here are a few located near our properties:
Mayfair properties
- Green Park (19 hectares) - 3-minute walk
- Hyde Park (142 hectares) - 4-minute walk
- Grosvenor Square (2.5 hectares) - 11-minute walk
Kensington property
- Bramham Gardens (0.6 hectares) - 1-minute walk
- Holland Park (21 hectares) - 16-minute walk
Is it possible to practise sustainability in a city of over 9 million? According to the mayor’s ‘1.5-degree compatible plan’, the answer is ‘yes’ - with a heavy focus on eco building, public parks and zero-emissions mass public transportation.
London is going green, and guests of ByMansley, in both the Mayfair or Kensington properties, will find no shortage of natural spaces, sustainable travel options or eco-minded restaurants to help them reduce carbon footprint and stay healthy in the process.
