The London Plane is commonly found in the squares and parks and on the streets of London. It is the ideal city tree, able to cope well with pollution and restricted root space. London Planes are readily recognisable by their peeling bark; this one in the secluded Battishill Gardens has a bird nesting box attached to it.
