Real woods are rich and dense; they're different to the carefully planted city parks. Despite being surrounded on three sides by main roads, Petersham Common Woods feels secluded. The dense foliage perfectly encloses the space in all directions. In some parts the tops of the trees are so thick they block out the sky. Even the ground is hidden by a thick layer of leaves.
It's easy to miss Petersham Common Woods, just outside the gates of Richmond Park. I did for a long time and I'm sure lots of people do every day.
