We have mapped all of London’s Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land

Working with Greenspace Information for Greater London (GiGL) in 2018 we mapped all of London’s ‘protected land’ – Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land.  This reveals that over 22% of the area of London was designated Green Belt and almost 10% was Metropolitan Open Land.

Further details, including maps and tables showing the distribution of this land between London’ boroughs, is set out in the full report below:
