There is not a consistent or agreed format for collecting or recording tree data across London. This presents a challenge in collating data across multiple boroughs. Many boroughs collect a range of information about their trees (e.g. age, height). However this varied by borough in terms of the information collected and categorisations used so we were not able to standardise this information.

The data on the map includes data provided in 2014-15, and updated data provided in 2019-20. Where boroughs did not provide updated data in 2019-20, the 2014-15 data has been retained. However trees may have been surveyed some time before this and so some records may be several years old. Our new Great Trees of London Map reveals highlights from London’s uniquely diverse urban forest. Featuring rare species, magnificent English oaks, an ancient yew and the finest flowering cherries, this selection of 50 trees spans from Kew Gardens to Greenwich Park, and Tottenham to Brixton. The map includes photography, an introduction and descriptions by Paul Wood. Great Trees of London is a list created by Trees for Cities after the Great Storm of 1987, when the general public were asked to suggest suitable trees. Forty-one were chosen, with a further 20 added in 2008. [1] [2] In 2010, Time Out Guides Limited published a book, 'The Great Trees of London', listing all 61 trees. The initial data for this map was provided in 2014-15, with a partial update in January 2021. There is more explanation of the data below the map, and the data is available on the London Datastore. As with all of our maps, this title is printed on recycled FSC-certified paper in the UK by Generation Press, a carbon-neutral, family-owned printer. The map opens to A2 (420 x 594mm, 16.53 x 23.39 inches), folds to A5 (148 × 210mm or 5.83 × 8.27 inches), and is protected by a band.Blue Crow Media, long-time makers of bespoke themed maps of London and other places, have switched from their regular architecture focus and produced a lovely new map focusing on notable trees in the capital. There are around as many trees as people in London, but some trees are more notable than others, and this map and guide aims to highlight these. The guide has curated by been Paul Wood (nominative determinism in action!) and includes some appropriate photos of a number of the highlighted trees.
