Walthamstow Wetlands
Seven Sisters · 2.5 miles
Walthamstow Wetlands is a 211-hectare nature reserve in Walthamstow, east London, adjacent to the River Lea in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is focused on the Walthamstow Reservoirs, built by the East London Waterworks Company between 1853 and 1904 as part of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain. The site is one of the largest urban wetland nature reserves in Europe and is particularly important for wildlife due to its position within the Lee Valley. It serves as a byway for migrating, wintering and breeding birds. Visitors can freely access the site's natural, industrial and social heritage in one of the capital's most densely populated urban areas.

Tottenham Marshes
Upper Edmonton · 1.9 miles
Covering more than 100 acres, the Tottenham Marshes lie in the London Borough of Haringey, close to Upper Edmonton. Managed by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, the site forms part of the wider Lee Valley Park network and is split into three sections – Clendish Marsh, Wild Marsh West and Wild Marsh East – the latter two being divided by the River Lea. The area is recognised as one of the few remaining examples of semi-natural wetland within Greater London. A mixture of neutral grassland, sedge marsh, reed swamp, sallow scrub and tall-herb vegetation creates a varied habitat that supports plant species such as wall bedstraw, yellow vetchling, bee orchid and Babington’s poppy. Invertebrate and bird life includes the brown argus butterfly, skylark and short-eared owl, species that are relatively uncommon in the capital. Historically the marshes originated as a flood plain of the River Lea. Between the 1860s and the 1930s the site accommodated recreational facilities including tennis courts and a swimming area. Post-World War II, from 1946 to 1960, the land was used for gravel extraction and landfill, and in the late-19th century the River Lea was diverted to allow construction of part of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain, bisecting Wild Marsh East. Tottenham Hotspur Football Club first played there in 1882. The Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, established by an Act of Parliament in 1965, purchased the marshes in 1972, securing their present status as a public park.
