Parklife: how exercise can help us rethink the value of London

It’s Saturday morning in Osterley Park, Hounslow, and the 411th Osterley parkrun is up and running. Though some might jog or walk the five-kilometre course.

Parkrun is a popular community event, where runners of varying abilities congregate each Saturday morning to run. It was founded in 2004 in Bushy Park, London, and now takes place in more than 2,000 locations around the world.
