The first guide to reveal the full, amazing variety of London's street tree population is now an agenda-setting, canonical work. Paul Wood's brilliant and acclaimed London's Street Trees sold out three printings in its first 2017 edition, two more in its expanded 2020 edition, and in 2024 is republished yet again in a completely revised and further extended edition. But London's Street Trees has needed to be revised and expanded again, because the capital's street tree population has continued to grow and gloriously diversify. Every month boroughs all over the capital are planting new species, from winter-flowering cherries to brighten up winter to Hackney's shocking pink-flowering Toona sinensis.
The third edition features 16 extra pages and 10 new tree species.
Paul Wood is the author of London Tree Walks, London Is a Forest and (in September) Tree-Hunting. He appears regularly in the media and is a regular speaker on arboreal subjects.
"For someone like me who is not a natural naturalist, the book reveals a previously unconsidered world situated just outside the front door, or at most only a bus ride away."
– Ian Jack, Guardian
"A brilliant book that will appeal to everyone. It is very definitely a worthy celebration of the urban forest."
– British Wildlife
"A thoroughly fitting tribute to the largest and most fascinating living features of our everyday environment."
