Summary

In London, trees can go unnoticed. They line the city's streets, punctuate its open spaces, fill its parks, but they are not often remarked upon, scarcely touched and rarer still, climbed. But as a meadow is not a meadow without its wildness, a city is not a city without its green spaces; London would not be London without its trees. Jack Cooke has spent the last year climbing the vast assortment of the city's trees for no other reason than sheer pleasure. In this book, Jack explores the city through its canopy; teetering on the edge of an oak's branches, crunching the bark of a dying elm, spying views from the treetops which few have ever seen.
