London's Street Trees

This revised edition of London's Street Trees showcases the diverse tree species in London, reflecting the city's evolving urban forest and its ecological significance.

The third edition of London's Street Trees is a comprehensive guide that has been completely revised to showcase the diverse species of trees lining the streets of London. This edition reflects the ongoing changes and expansion of London's urban forest, highlighting the increasing importance of these trees in the face of national issues, particularly following the recent loss of street trees in cities like Sheffield and Plymouth. The guide serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in urban ecology and the vital role trees play in city environments.

Since its initial publication in 2017, London's Street Trees has gained significant acclaim, selling out multiple printings and establishing itself as a canonical work in the field. The 2020 edition further expanded on the original, and the 2024 release continues this trend, incorporating new species and insights into the capital's ever-evolving tree population. Each month, boroughs across London are planting new varieties, enhancing the city's landscape with everything from winter-flowering cherries to the striking pink blooms of Toona sinensis.

This guide not only provides detailed information on the various species found in London but also emphasizes the importance of urban trees in promoting biodiversity and improving quality of life in urban settings. As the city continues to grow and diversify, London's Street Trees remains an invaluable tool for tree enthusiasts, conservationists, and anyone interested in the natural beauty of urban life.
