If the pandemic has taught us one thing, it's that people love parks
Wherever we are in the world, urban parks are places where we can find calm amid the chaos.
With fondness and humour, travel writer Tom Chesshyre recalls 50 of his favourite urban parks from across the world, in a love letter to the green escapes that bring us joy in our cities.
Join travel writer Tom Chesshyre in this charming celebration of our favourite green spaces from around the world
People love parks - and more than that, people need parks. We crave greenery, fresh air and birdsong. Whether we're in Colombia or Korea, America or Australia, urban parks are places where we can find calm amid the chaos. They can also (more often than we may realize) conceal intriguing hidden histories, and can tell us something about modern life in our frenzied world, too.
