Check out the Noel Park Friendship Tree [1]. Seems like the road has been built around it since at least 1894 [2] (though maybe another tree was there before).

I'm surprised by the stark difference in density between some of the boroughs. E.g. Dalston has very few trees compared with Islington.

Is that because of actual difference in density or difference in tracking between various councils?

My guess is the latter. There are several woods and parks around where I live in Harringey that are showing no trees on the map

Hello fellow Harringey/Haringay-ite!

I was surprised the other day on a long-ish walk that skirted around the base of Ally Pally, just how green the built up areas of Harringey are. I often get the impression that Haringey (and Hackney) are making every effort to pull down old-growth trees to make way for new developments, but this view of the borough 'side on' allayed my fears.

Still, I'm always sad to see old trees chopped down (as is happening now in Woodberry Down and happened a few years back around Hornsey, all in the quest to pack more people in).
