This private communal garden was provided for residents of Thurloe Square, which was built on the Thurloe Estate. The Estate had passed to John Alexander in 1799, who began house development on the land from 1826. His son Henry Browne Alexander undertook the second phase of building from 1840, which included Thurloe Square. The south-west corner was demolished to make way for the underground railway in 1867. The garden has lawn, shrubberies, borders and flower beds, numerous mature trees and original railings.

Tibberton Square consists of two terraces facing each other, between which is an area of garden that was once for the communal use of the residents. The houses were built by Thomas Wontner in the grounds of his house, after the death of his wife in 1823, who he had met in Tibberton. The 'square' was closed by railings and gates, leaving a view to the south-east. In 1970 Islington Council purchased the square, which had become run-down. The houses were restored as flats and the garden was newly landscaped and levelled and new railings erected. The new scheme was opened in July 1979 at a ceremony attended by Sir Hugh Wontner, a descendent of Thomas Wontner.

Formerly called Knights Hill Recreation Ground, Tivoli Park is an historically interesting site for its connections with the Maudslay engineering family who lived nearby and it was once part of the grounds of the Maudslays' house. Knights Hill was named after the Knight family who owned land in this area in the C16th. The site for the recreation ground was purchased with involvement of the MPGA in 1914, and it has been saved from being sold off a number of times. There is a playground at one end of the site and the rest has been laid out with grass, trees and shrubs with a path running east to west across the park.

Tookes Green is a small triangular green on sloping land at the junction of three roads, with a few trees and seats and bordered with setts, a boulder at each corner. In the centre is a granite drinking fountain on an octagonal stepped base, erected here by the inhabitants of Pinner in 1886 to commemorate William Arthur Tooke, JP who had lived at Pinner Hill House.

Tooting Bec Common and Tooting Graveney Common, together with Streatham Green are the remains of common land that once stretched as far as Mitcham. An avenue of trees marks the former boundary line between the two commons, now to all intents and purposes one. The common is partly grass and partly shrubs and woodland and forms an important and historic green area in this part of London despite the roads that cross and surround it. Buildings around the common include a Regency gothic villa, but is predominantly of the later C19th.

Tooting Gardens is a small public park that was laid out and opened to the public on 1 June 1912. It was originally to the west of the Fountain Road Fever Hospital, which opened in 1893, with Grove Hospital to the south built in 1894-9. In 1911 a drinking fountain was installed here, which had formerly stood at Tooting Broadway but removed when the memorial statue of Edward VII was erected. By 1953 play equipment had been installed in the park. It is now sandwiched behind Tooting Leisure Centre and adjacent to St George's Hospital. The park has been re-landscaped and has shrubberies, undulating ground, and new trees.

Torrington Square was originally laid out as part of the Bedford Estate development in 1821-25, named after the father-in-law of the 6th Duke of Bedford. On the east side a terrace of 6 original houses remains, Nos. 27-32; No.30 was once the home of Christina Georgina Rossetti. The terraces overlooked a long narrow garden enclosure for the private use of residents and had lawns, a shrubbery border and fine trees. The square was purchased in the early C20th for the new University of London and was largely built over in the 1930s. It is now publicly accessible and partly hard landscaped, although some mature trees remain.

Tottenham Cemetery was opened by the Tottenham Burial Board in 1858 following the closure of the parish churchyard of All Hallows in 1857. Part of the 5-acre plot was consecrated, with the remainder designated for non Church of England burials, with a chapel for each. The land was drained, landscaped, paths were laid out and evergreens and shrubs planted. The cemetery was extended to the east and south-west between 1881 and 1887 and to the north of Moselle Brook after 1913 on land that included a large lake with two islands that forms the centrepiece of the Garden of Peace.

Tottenham Green and Tottenham Green East are two triangular plots either side of the High Road. Tottenham is recorded in the Domesday Book as a settlement around the Green but almost certainly dated back to pre-Norman times. It centred on Tottenham High Cross, a wooden cross by the road for which there are records from 1409. Formerly commonland, Tottenham Green was probably enclosed with railings and laid out as a public garden soon after 1897. In the centre of Tottenham Green East, Haringey Peace Garden was created in 1985 when part of the site was dedicated to Olof Paume, Swedish Prime Minister.

Tottenham Park Cemetery is a small private burial ground dating from 1912, which was originally established as a paupers' cemetery. A central drive lined with trees leads to the original brick Gothic chapel, since disused. It remains privately owned and is now particularly used for Muslim burials.The Friends of Tottenham Park Cemetery was set up in the early 1990s and has undertaken conservation works including a series of stepped wooden trellises with associated planting and seats.

Totteridge Common today consists of grass and woodland, and has a series of old ponds, probably dug for gravel extraction. By the C13th the manor belonged to the Bishopric of Ely and Totteridge was a hamlet. From the C17th and C18th the area, with its fine views and relative proximity to London, gradually attracted wealthy people who built houses here. Totteridge Common was enclosed in the C18th. Although housing development accelerated after the arrival of the railway at Barnet, Totteridge retained its rural aspect due to Green Belt legislation and local pressure. Today it consists of grass and woodland and has a series of old ponds, probably dug for gravel extraction.

In the C13th Totteridge was a hamlet. From the C17th and C18th the area gradually attracted wealthy people who built houses here. Totteridge Green today consists of grassland, areas of woodland with a variety of trees. In the centre is a mature oak possibly planted in the C18th by Sir Peter Meyer, a Dutch merchant who lived in the area, who obtained permission from the Lord of the Manor to plant trees and to make ponds; Laurel Farm Pond remains in the south.
