Now let\u2019s talk about a place where history meets unspoiled nature in the Capital. While parts of Epping Forest have been developed or cut through, much of its 6,000 acres of land has remained free to flourish without intervention for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s home to the UK\u2019s largest population of stag beetles, plus deer, rare fungi and ancient trees. It was also once a hideout for Dick Turpin, one of Britain\u2019s most notorious 18<sup>th<\/sup>-century criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chiswick House Gardens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 17<sup>th<\/sup>-century Chiswick House is a visual delight. But if you\u2019re more of an outdoors person, you\u2019ll probably prefer trekking around the perfectly manicured gardens noted for their Atlantic blue cedar trees. Relish nature from the waterfront by walking by the grounds&#8217; canal. If you\u2019re lucky, you might spot one or two parakeets that give the place a slightly tropical feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B6viZguDj9n\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Stay with us here. As eerie as it sounds at first, the site hasn\u2019t been used since 1970, allowing it to flourish as a natural environment. Here, you\u2019ll find some of Britain&#8217;s rarest insects, birds, plants, and fungi \u2013 right in the heart of its largest city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primrose Hill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Primrose Hill, although not devoid of wildlife, may not be London\u2019s best green space for biodiversity. Still, nothing quite beats the view of an expansive, illuminated public park backdropped by the astonishing city skyline. The view is so astonishing that it\u2019s protected by law, as it has been since 1938.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">King\u2019s Wood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s conclude our list with one more ancient forest, whose recorded history dates back to 1086, when the Domesday Book was compiled. Even more impressive is that evidence of Iron Age infrastructure has been found in this 147-acre green space in the London Borough of Croydon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it was plundered slightly for its timber during WWII, the size of the forest has remained relatively unchanged since Tudor times. It\u2019s a fantastic place to enjoy some serenity while walking in the footsteps of our ancient ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bh5vC98gzof\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
