Agreed when it comes to the City of London (for anyone not familiar, this means the financial centre). It can feel pretty grim walking there at times.

Elsewhere though, possible to plan continuous walks through greenish spaces. One starting at Victoria: Belgravia back streets, Hyde Park, Grosvenor Square, Marylebone High Street, Regents Park, Primrose Hill, Belsize Park, Hampstead Heath.

I am not sure whether GP means the City or central London in general.

It gets greener as you go further out.

One of the big problems in the UK has been the rise of low maintenance gardens, replacing plants with decking concrete, gravel etc.

They mean the City of London. They capitalised the C and everything, it's a thing.

> I was walking in central London .... there are no trees in central London (the City).

It makes me wonder whether they know which bit is actually the City.

later on:

> Sure, you have a small/big park here and there

What big park is there within the City? The whole of the City is smaller than Hyde Park (including Kensington Gardens).

The green space exists, but access to it is often something you have to deliberately route yourself through
