A group of Highgate dads have worked with Thames Water to plant hundreds of trees on a patch of land in the heart of the village.
Ben Cooper QC is one of those to have set up Dream For Trees, which has seen around 1,200 trees planted by Highgate's covered reservoir.
He said the project between The Grove and Highgate West Hill has been well supported and is intended to be the first of several around London.
"Even small woodlands in the city can help restore a balance from the impersonal domination of cars," he said.
