I live in a London borough that I think claims a higher proportion

Even Waltham Forest?

There is more than 5,000 acres of public open space in Richmond - about
14% of the total for Greater London.

Eek! That is quite a bit. Damn you with your fancy great park! And what
have we got up here? Flipping Finsbury Park is what!

I don't want to over-simplify, though: part of the reason is that wide
tracts of open parkland separate areas of quite high-density housing and
that is an ideal combination for high-frequency bus routes.

Quite!
