         London is a place that barely needs description. It is one of the most famous cities in the world, with a long history and a longer list of famous sons and daughters. As everyone knows it is the capital, and largest, city of the United Kingdom. Presently it is a modern, bustling, multi-cultural city that leads the UK in numerous areas including sports, entertainment, industry and it is a prime example of how to develop a city whilst retaining links to the natural world. London is home to over 3000 parks, which have been designated by boroughs as ‘public open spaces’ and together they cover almost 18% of London. More than the area covered by roads and railways combined.

Naturally, London is also home to many world-famous parks such as St. James’s Park, Hyde Park, Regent’s Park and Crystal Palace Park to name a few, and every visitor and resident has their own personal favourite. Each one is unique and has plenty of surprises in store for the curious visitor. For instance, Crystal Palace Park was created to relocate the original Crystal Palace which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition in 1851. The Crystal Palace was designed by the world-renowned Joseph Paxton, as a representation of modern architecture and industry that developed during the Industrial Revolution. The structure was three times the size of St. Paul’s Cathedral! Unfortunately, it was destroyed in a fire in 1936 but large areas of the city still bear its name. Not all parks were designed to reflect the rise of industry, however, and London is home to more than a few gardens which helped cement the appeal of the natural world in the nation’s psyche.

Chief amongst these is undoubtedly Kew Gardens, and its governing body the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Located in southwest London, Kew was founded in 1840 and its living collections include more than 25,000 taxa curated by Royal Botanic gardens, Kew, whilst the herbarium, which is one of the world’s largest, has over 8.5 million plant and fungal specimens. In keeping with London’s status as a modern and connected city, Kew has collaborated with the Missouri Botanical gardens, and other international bodies to create The Plant List. This is an internet encyclopedia project which was launched in 2010 to compile a comprehensive list of botanical nomenclature. Not only is Kew Gardens one of London’s top tourist attractions it is also a World heritage site. The establishment of Kew Gardens would not have been possible had it not been for the Royal Horticultural Society, which was initially formed as the London Horticultural Society in 1802. A major player in establishing the London Horticultural Society was Joseph Banks, who did that and much more to further the cause of botany and horticulture in Britain and the world.

Joseph Banks was born in London in 1743 and died there in 1820. He was an explorer, naturalist and long-time president of the Royal Society. During his life he went on many an adventure and is renowned for furthering the cause of science whenever possible. He inherited a considerable fortune from his father in 1761 and he did not waste the opportunity presented to him. He used his wealth to travel extensively, collecting plant and natural history specimens on journeys to Newfoundland and Labrador in 1766, circumnavigating the globe with Captain James Cook 1768-71, and even to Iceland in 1772.

The Royal Horticultural Society promotes horticulture via numerous gardens and flower shows, including Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, community gardens, Britain in Bloom and a range of educational programmes. It also supports professional and amateur gardeners to the benefit and enrichment of all.
