Nestled in the heart of London, the Woodberry Wetlands is a **hidden gem** that offers a serene escape from the bustling city.

Lovely sunny afternoon walk from New River to London wild life Trust woodberry and west reservoir. Bit
Muddy but fine on trainers or walking boots. Both Cafes open. Boats and wild swimmers on the lake.

Calm. Relaxing. An oasis in the centre of two worlds. Crappy run down council properties and expensive private properties.
Eventually all the local authority properties will be eradicated to make room for private real estate. These properties will be predictably sold with the tagline of 'delightful views of a nature reserve' £££.
Anyway, it is a nice bit of peacefulness in the middle of a lot of noise.

A beautiful wetlands with loads of wildlife. I have been to the one in Walthamstow and loved it so I thought why not explore this one too. It also has a nice cafe, loads of history.

I used to live next to the reservoir and is such a haven for the locals all year round. Love taking walks around there and the coal house cafe is a lovely place for hot drinks and cake. It’s one of my favourite spots in London.
