Countryside half an hour from Clapham Junction?

[BERGS2]

Hi chaps - bit of a random one here -

spoilt as we are in south west london with Richmond Park & Wimbledon Common - i was wondering if there are any other accessible open spaces that are within say 30 minutes of clapham junction?

or any other daytrip out of london places worth a visit?

cosy pub would be a considerable bonus too...

sorry for the boring Q - but i often find PH is invaluable for advice like this..

TA in advance,

BERGS
