Environment

Our environment section tells you who's responsible for what, plus all about what's being done to protect London's built and natural environment.

Natural environment

London has more parks and green areas than any other city of its size in the world. Almost 39 per cent of London's total area is green. But London's green environment isn't just about parks and gardens - it includes London's noise levels, water, energy and air.

Our Green London guide telling you all you need to know about outdoor London - from parks and waterways to wild London and city farms. In our How to be green section you’ll find information about how you can do your bit for the environment.

Built environment

The built environment is another important part of London surroundings. With world-famous buildings as old as the Tower of London and as new as the Swiss Re building or 'gherkin', looking after London's heritage and controlling planning and design of new buildings are key to caring for London's environment.

Our Architecture section explores the wide range of architectural styles London has to offer and highlights the importance of good architecture to our environment. The Planning section gives an overview of London’s building planning process.
