11	Methodology: Our aim was to find the best green space for mindfulness in eight areas of London (Islington, Croydon, Kings Cross, Docklands, Shoreditch, Southwark, Kensington, Bethnal Green). These areas were chosen as they tend to be commuter hotspots with signficant amounts of office space. We used information from local council websites, Tripadvisor, and Google Maps to find green spaces in each of the eight areas. We then used the same three sources to find the relevant information in our mindfulness criteria, including the size of the space, distance from public transport, and sports facilities in the green space.
