With its hectares of green space and much-loved bicycle hire putting fleets of novel, low-slung bikes under the feet of enthusiastic kids, Dulwich Park is one of London’s most handsome and enjoyable parks. Bikes can be hired from London Recumbents, near the Old College Gate in the west of the park. The park playground is great for toddlers.
