    Visitor review

    "The best escape London has to offer. A stunning wetland reserve, short walk from Hammersmith and Barnes. In a split of a second the bustling city turns into lakes, flowers and wildlife. A scene from an Attenborough nature film... One of the best attractions in London. No doubt at all."
