The great trees of London

After the Great Storm of 1987, Londoners were asked to nominate the capital's leading landmark trees.

41 were officially awarded "Great Tree" status in 1988 with plaques erected next to each tree.
A further 20 trees were named in 2008 after independent charity, Trees for Cities, asked the public to nominate trees from across London.
