A free hilltop patch of grass: lovely views, but don’t expect much else.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
The Green is exactly what several reviewers say it is: a patch of grass on a hill in a residential area. There’s a church on site, and one reviewer mentions a view over London from the top, which sounds like the main reason to go if you’re not already nearby. For families with little ones, the standout is the free Friday morning “carer and toddler” song time during term time, with free coffee, tea and cake too. That’s a decent little parent win, and the church sounds welcoming, which always helps when you’re wrangling a toddler and a buggy. Beyond that, there’s not much here. Reviews are blunt about the lack of features: “a bit of grass on the side of a hill” is about the size of it. Great for a brief wander, not for a planned day out, and older children will likely wonder why they’ve been brought to a lawn.
Two-minute orientation
Quick read
A simple green space on a hill in a residential area. Best bit seems to be the view over London and the friendly church. Worth it if you want free toddler singing and a cuppa; otherwise it’s very much a quick stop.
