The city of London has many green spaces, including eight Royal Parks which are owned by the Monarchy. Although they are now open to the public, these parks were originally intended solely for the recreation of the Royal Family. The public have no legal right to use the parks, however the Crown Lands Act of 1851 now permits public use. There are plans to shift the ownership from the Monarchy to the city of London, however for the time being the parks remain bureaucratically intended for the Royal Family.

Bonus:
On the topic of green spaces, in crowded central London there is - quite unexpectedly - a small 2.2 acre public farm on the Thames. Surrey Docks Farm is free to visit all year.
