Learning session at WWT London Wetland Centre The London Wetland Centre offers schools unique out of classroom learning opportunities immersed in spectacular wetland habitats.

Spring is a great time to visit as the centre is quieter than during the summer, yet no less exciting in terms of the wildlife and learning sessions available.
