We had an AED donated after a finish line cardiac arrest. The runner survived thanks to 15 mins of CPR and has carried on running - in fact he's got faster than before. We've thankfully never had cause to use ours. It's in the cafe, so available to anyone during opening hours.
We'd also had lots of donations to fund buying an AED so we donated one to a new, relatively local, parkrun.

It’s such a great push to have AEDs at all parkruns, the evidence shows they really do save lives
We are going to be in London this weekend and hoping to do a new parkrun. I would love to do Bushy, but we are staying in canary wharf and it looks like a real pain to get to even if I’m willing to pay for a cab. Any recommendations? We have done mile end, Fulham palace, Finsbury and burgess

Southwark is close by to Canary Wharf, but if you like hills Hilly Fields is good and sallykate is often ED there 
Ladywell is the closest train station I think...

I think Dulwich is reasonably accessible on public transport.

Highbury Fields is good too. Northern line station at Highbury only a couple of minutes walk from the start.

From Canary Wharf the Jubilee Line is one stop to Canada Water, then the overground is three stops to Brockley for Hilly Fields.
Public transport isn't very joined up so Dulwich would be more difficult to get to. The easiest one (apart from Mile End, which you've done) is probably Southwark: one stop to Canada Water, change to the overground, one stop to Surrey Quays and the park is very close to there.
I am housebound on Saturday morning this week so no RDing for me!

... DLR Canary Wharf to Lewisham also an option - then short walk.
