Swans on Brent Reservoir
Brent Reservoir

Greater London is one of the largest urban areas in Europe, with an area of 1,572 km2 (607 sq mi).[1] Its boundaries were set in 1965 when Greater London, which covers the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, was created. Almost two-thirds of it is green space and wetlands.[2] Its population according to the 2011 census was 8.17 million.[3]

Local nature reserve (LNR) is a statutory designation by local authorities which gives protection to wildlife habitats and natural features. It allows local authorities to apply local bye-laws to manage and protect sites.[4] The local authority must have a legal interest in the site, by owning or leasing it or having a nature reserve agreement with the owner.[5] As of January 2016, Natural England gives details of 144 local nature reserves declared by local authorities in Greater London, which are listed below.[6][a]

The largest site, at 97.31 hectares (240.5 acres), is Brent Reservoir, most of which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its breeding wetland birds, especially great crested grebes, and for its marsh plant life.[7] The smallest is Burnt Ash Pond at 0.13 hectares (0.32 acres), an old farm pond in the middle of a residential area.[8] The longest is Parkland Walk, a linear site of 7.2 kilometres (4.5 miles) along the route of an old railway line.[9] Perivale Wood is one of the oldest nature reserves in Britain. It has been managed by the Selborne Society since 1902, and was designated an LNR in 1974.[10] The newest LNRs are Coldfall Wood, Alexandra Palace and Park and Masons Field, all declared in 2013.[11][12][13] Several sites, including Camley Street Natural Park in Kings Cross and Frays Valley, are managed by the London Wildlife Trust.[14]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ As of August 2024, there are 153 London LNRs, but the list has not been fully updated since 2016.
  2. ^ The location is taken from the Natural England details page for the site
  3. ^ Unless specified otherwise, the maps are on the Natural England database of local nature reserves.
  4. ^ Details are on the pages on each site in the Natural England database of local nature reserves.[6]
  5. ^ Free public access to all or most of the site
  6. ^ a b The map is missing for Bedfords Park. In this case the area and map is taken from the Greenspace Information for Greater London database.[29]
  7. ^ a b c d e The coordinates and description in the details page for Hogsmill River Park in the Natural England database put it in the same location as Elmbridge Open Space (the northern half of Hogsmill River Park) and Southwood Open Space (the southern half). The map for Hogsmill River Park wrongly shows a small closed wood called Hogsmill Wood.[77] The two maps in this table for Hogsmill River Park are those of Elmbridge and Southwood, and area shown for Hogsmill is the total area of its two halves.
  8. ^ Jubilee Wood is in two parts separated by an electricity substation. The Natural England map incorrectly shows the western wood as the LNR. Kingston Council's own map of LNRs[103] and a notice on the site shows the eastern wood as the LNR.
  9. ^ a b The Natural England details page gives the correct grid reference for Ruislip LNR, but the map wrongly shows Highgrove Wood. Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve Management Plan gives the area and has maps of the site.[152]
  10. ^ a b Ten Acre Wood is described on the Natural England details page as part of Yeading Woods LNR, managed by the London Wildlife Trust. This page has a grid reference and map which is correct according to the LWT. However the separate Natural England map shows a different location, the southern half of Yeading Brook Meadows. The LWT gives a map but not the area for this site.
  11. ^ There is no map of Tolworth Court Farm Fields on Natural England's Magic Map. There is a map on a noticeboard on the site, but none which can be copied under Wikimedia rules.
  12. ^ a b The Natural England details page for Yeading Brook Meadows describes the site as located in Hillingdon and Ealing and managed by the London Wildlife Trust. However the Natural England map shows a small area in Ealing which is not part of the reserve according to the LWT. The map and area for this site are taken from the LWT.
  13. ^ a b This site is described on the Natural England details page as including Gutteridge Wood. The Ten Acre Wood details page has a map of the site showing it in two adjoining blocks, and states that it is part of Yeading Woods. The Natural England map of Yeading Woods shows Gutteridge Wood and part of Ten Acre Wood. The map in this table is an LWT one, but the LWT does not show the area. The area is taken from the Natural England listing.[185]
