Why land in Cavendish Square??!!

Hi,

I was just having my lunch in Cavendish Square today and I was told we had to clear out as the Air Ambulance was landing. I was told this happens quite regularly but I am baffled about something. Why risk such a dangerous landing in one of the windiest parts of London with trees and buildings metres away from the rotors? Why not go to Hyde park, Green park etc which are only a stones throw away and would be much easier and safer to land in?

Anyway, I take my hat off to the pilot - pretty impressive flying!!

Cheers
