Just listening to Open Country on BBC Radio 4 and they are talking about the plans to make London a ‘national park city’. Starting their discussion on One Tree Hill.

Absolutely no criticism of your post Rachael, but I think in many ways this sort of thing starts my alarm bells ringing. I rather like the fact that One Tree Hill is rather an obscure treasure known to comparatively few. If it becomes the hub of some sort of a ‘national park city’ (if you please !) before you know it there will be those brown tourist attraction sign posts pointing the way to it - like you get on motorway exits - and next thing you know there will be a burger king on the top !
I expect I am just being curmudgeonly as usual (as Mrs TWT is always telling me.)

Don’t worry, it was only featured because the person being interviewed about London’s green spaces is local.
