Definitions for "Commons"
A common; public pasture ground.
These open spaces in London, some of which cover thousands of acres, are the remains of common land which was not enclosed by the Enclosure Acts of the 18th and early 19th centuries, when suburbs such as Mitcham, Tooting, Streatham, Clapham, Wimbledon, Putney, Wandsworth, and Barnes were still country villages. People used to have the right to graze animals and collect firewood and wild food on the commons, but the need for conservation of these lovely open and still quite wild spaces has made it necessary to revoke these ancient rights.
