Why it's Wildland
5.2The upper park is the high point of a two-part neighbourhood park, with views across London as its defining feature.
A useful urban breather with a proper city-view payoff. The council lists an ornamental garden, pond and courts alongside the lawns, but the views—not a sense of wilderness—are the reason to make the climb.
