The full scale of the devastating impact of unprecedented heatwaves on London’s landscape is revealed today.

Exclusive satellite imagery prepared by geospatial analytics company Map Impact for The Standard shows how the capital’s parks, gardens and other green oases are being frazzled into parched lands.

Normally, London is one of the greenest capitals on earth, boasting “crown jewel” parks like no other city.

But across the drought-hit capital of nine million, the landscape has been ravaged by the relentless baking heat with temperatures forecast to hit 35C on Thursday in London.

The images from space lay bare the impact of virtually no rain for weeks and record temperatures, no more so than in Victoria Park, in Tower Hamlets, the capital’s oldest public park.

Its normally lush, green acres are now vast, straw-coloured areas.

The dramatic transformation has happened in just months.

The satellite snaps show how the park looked in March – before the global warming-fuelled extraordinary heat hit Britain – and then in July.

The “People’s Park”, as it has been known over the years, was opened in 1845 for the benefit of the East End working class, and sprawls across 86 hectares as part of a “green corridor” in the capital.

But the park, visited by more than nine million people a year, is now far from green.

Its remaining grass and other vegetation is set to further wilt in the “extreme” heat forecast to peak on Thursday.

The capital’s iconic Royal Parks are famous for their wildlife and floral diversity.

The Serpentine waters normally split two large green, grassy areas which make up Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.

But both Royal parks have been hard hit by the scorching weather.

Even St James’s Park and Green Park, around Buckingham Palace, have been turned into “tinderboxes”.

Amid the high temperatures, the threat of wildfires has spiralled so significantly that Sir Sadiq Khan has urged Londoners to create fire breaks in their own gardens to protect their homes.
