Awight?
I had a dream the other night, a recurring one I've had since I was a lad
Anyways, it's me talking to 2 people in London, they say "come look at this"
They lead me through an urban landscape, and in front is rural, fields stretching into the distance, trees in leaf, cows grazing and no houses.
I go into the fields and after a while I look back and there's London beneath me, stretching out as far as the eye can see, I turn round and as far as I can see is fields and trees
Is there a place where this is possible on the edge of London?
Or is it just one long urban sprawl and eventually it thins out wherever you are or whatever part you're in?

Hampstead Heath is rural. I often hear the early morning cock.
Greenwich Common? Were you in Greenwich park or on Blackheath?
it's a lovely walk any time of year. There's a good view of London from the west side of Blackheath looking down over the river with St. Pauls and Tower bridge.
