Spending time in London doesn't have to mean forfeiting fresh air, nature and wildlife. London is one of the greenest capitals in the world, with plenty of green and open spaces. At the last count, there were more than 3,000 parks and open spaces in the city! Tee off on two of London's riverside golf courses, and admire the views between swings on the fairway. Richmond Park Golf Course has two 18-hole pay-and-play courses. You can hire clubs here too. East of Woolwich, Riverside Golf Centre in Thamesmead has a 9-hole course and 31-bay driving range. And, as it also hires out equipment, you can just turn up and play when the mood takes you.
