Hannah ParvazOctober 18, 2016One of the most beautiful and peaceful places in London. Often a few people dotted around drinking, but great to reflect on the past and get away from the hustle and bustle.Upvote2Downvote- A gorgeous asset of north London, Abney Park serves both the community as a place to relax and nature as a place to flourish. Keep an eye out for signs telling you about the amazing veteran trees! 🌳Upvote1Downvote
