With 359 parks, including nine Royal parks, open to the public since 1851, he could cover only some of them and his illustrated tour gave us a scenic view of such well-known sites as Covent Garden, Temple Gardens, Gough Square, Hampstead Heath, Regents Park and Tavistock Square. He also included a visit to the intriguing eccentricities of Highgate Cemetery.
