Postman's Park with the Watts memorial wall, around the corner from the Museum of London, is a lovely little gem, particularly at the weekend when the City is quiet (the Museum may be worth a visit also).
For NE London, Abney Park Cemetery, off Stoke Newington Church Street is a great bit of unofficial country side and up the road from Clissold Park (currently partly being redeveloped); not far away is Finsbury Park from where you can take the Parkland Walk, a disused railway line (you can also cycle it) up to Highgate.
There is also the Lea Valley and Regent's canals which can be picked up at the Lime House basin.
