Ever wondered what that tree is you passed during your lockdown exercise walk? There’s a website that tells you the answer.
The Tree Map from Tree Talk has been around for a couple of years, but not many people know about it – and it should be better known as the map covers a lot of London now.
In use, it might be better if the trees weren’t green circles as that makes them slightly harder to spot against the map background where there’s other parks and green spaces around — but once you zoom in a bit it becomes clearer what’s there.
Apart from identify that big tree near you — there’s also some interesting analysis maps, such as this one showing tree species rarity across London.
Of course, any grading scale will have oddities, so where the Thames seems to be filled with trees is thanks to denser numbers of trees on the shoreline. Pity though – a floating forest on the Thames would be cool.
The tree map is here , and it works on a smartphone for when you’re out and about.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for just over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, but doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether its a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what your read on here, then please support the website here .
Thank you
