Delighted to see my local one in there, with a description reading like it was written by Douglas Adams.
“The Hungry Tree is an otherwise unremarkable specimen of the London plane, which has become known for having partially consumed a nearby park bench.”
- y-curious 9mo agoI googled it and found that it has a more comprehensive Wikipedia article than some prominent historical figures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_Tree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_Tree

From the wikipedia page: > Consideration was given to listing the bench as a protected structure but was decided against as there could then have been a requirement imposed on the council to destroy the tree to protect the bench
