The Inventory is a comprehensive listing of more than 2000 historic open green spaces in the Greater London boroughs.
The Inventory is the culmination of a research project first instigated in 1994, very soon after the Trust was founded, with the aim of identifying and celebrating the wealth of historic green sites across the 610 square miles that comprise Greater London. Its ambitious remit was to identify London's public parks, gardens, squares, cemeteries and churchyards of local historic interest, not forgetting historic greens and commons.
The information collected includes local history details, site description, size, information on ownership and management, access, public transport and local authority designations such as Metropolitan Open Space, Nature Conservation Areas, Tree Protection Orders and Conservation Areas. A selection of relevant maps, engravings and photographs have been collected.
