The London Tree Map shows the locations and species information for over 880,000 of London's trees. These are predominantly street trees, but also some trees in parks and other open spaces. The map does not represent the entirety of the capital's urban forest - the London iTree report estimated that there are over eight million trees in London, which includes trees in woodlands, parks, streets, private gardens and more. You can see the distribution of tree canopy across the city on our canopy cover map. The map also only contains data from 26 of London's 33 boroughs, the City of London and Transport for London.
