Richmond Park

In the capital of William Blake’s ‘green and pleasant land’, it’s easy to make light-touch decisions, thanks to zero-waste restaurants and plastic-free places to stay.
With London’s excellent public transport system, lush royal parks, and an ever-expanding collection of ecohotels and zero-waste restaurants, it’s never been easier to have a green getaway in England’s capital. You might be trying to travel carbon-light on this sustainable city break, but tough decisions are made easy as these low-impact spots are some of the trendiest places in town.
The chefs at this zero-waste restaurant in East London, which launched in ecofriendly Brighton before moving to the capital, churn their own butter, mill their own flour and do everything they can to reduce food miles and pointless packaging. Any food scraps that can’t be repurposed in stocks or sauces are composted, helping to grow the next batch of veggies, and the team trade directly with local farmers to help close the loop. A well-meaning concept that serious sustainable foodies will love.
Keen to make your London stay a green one? Head for its leafiest parks and open spaces, read about the organisations making its urban areas eco-friendly, and for a night’s rest with the ultimate peace of mind, book one of its best sustainable hotels with Culture Trip.
