I love the city as much as anyone who lives here, the frequent surprises, the bright lights and the constant rushing that becomes a kind of rhythm that you move to. It's nice to have a break though, especially on a sunny day when you start to wonder where the sky is behind all those tall skyscrapers!
London is really spoilt for nearby places with a little more greenery, and getting there is much easier than you would think. I went to visit Epping forest, which is barely 20 minutes away by train, then a short walk until you reach the woods.
Although you are never quite that far from the sounds of traffic, it's a beautiful place to explore, with ponds (with lots of ducks!) and stretching fields to make you believe you are miles from the concrete streets.
Nearest stations: Theydon Bois, Loughton, Epping
