Yeah - this. Everyone our way seems to be obeying the rules. Anyone at the park is keeping a reasonable distance and not being a dick about it - it seems low risk to me (obviously not an expert). It's certainly lower risk than Sainsbury's.
The govt has managed to stop (I imagine) 95% of gatherings and travelling. My personal interactions have gone down from hundreds per day on the tube, to half a dozen or less. Is that last 5% worth the loss of goodwill?
In other news, I got an anonymous note through my door this afternoon referencing the virus and asking that, in this time of national peril, we refrain from using our barbecues due to, I assume, local asthma suffers.
Thought that was a bit over the top.

I think this is totally fine.
But then, I don't have a garden and I am jealous and this is how I can deal with that jealousy.

The previously gloriously clean air of outer north west London
is now (locally) polluted with the distinctive odours of unburtn hydrocarbons
as this years debutant BBQ-ers attempt to light garage/shed-damp charcoal
and revert to firelighters.(Just for clarity: I have not put any notes through neighbours letterboxes,
nor yours). -
I'm assume the local asthma sufferers are doing quite well due to the general reduction in diesel and petrol fumes. Although the ones that are triggered by hay fever not so much.

As I mentioned upthread, I'm recovering from fume inhalation at work and trying to avoid any kind of smoke. Was sitting on my roof last week when a guy lit a bbq with scrap wood next door which brought all my symptoms back and filled my flat with smoke. Due to this and many other fires locally I have contacted my councillor, who has passed it on to the local Covid-19 enforcement team, because people with respiratory issues are more likely to die from the virus. If you live round here the bit of paper through yr door might be because of this.
There was even smoke in Crystal Palace park when I went running. I don't blame people who think of fires as a normal harmless part of life, there is a sad lack of public information on the issue, unlike for example cigarette smoking.

William.
Same. The vast majority of people in parks I've seen have been small groups (familes and couples) well spread out.
It shouldn't be surprising that more people are using parks. London is big. Flats are small. Most don't have gardens. Nothing else is open.
The knobs are a minority.
