Walthamstow Wetlands are a 20min walk from our home and is Europe’s largest urban wetland. Comprising of several huge interlinking reservoirs with pathways all around, this 211 hectare site is home to an abundance of wildlife. It still provides much of London’s drinking water and is the city’s largest fishery – small wonder birds from all over the world flock here! The former Engine House building dates from Victorian times and is now a visitor centre and cafe (which has an outdoor seating area which looks over the boardwalks). Admission to Walthamstow Wetlands is free and they have wildlife related events on most weekends.
After a hearty walk, enjoy the Ferry Boat Inn for great pub food and drinks.

Epping Forest is the largest open space in the London area at just over 6,000 acres. It is a 45min journey from Tottenham Hale station and is free to enter. Epping Forest is home to 55,000 ancient trees, more than any other single site in the country. Some are centuries old and may have been growing there since Anglo-Saxon times representing some of the oldest living plants in Europe, irreplaceable and rare. This is one of our favourite places to spend the day if needing a break from the city's hustle and bustle. We recommend you take a packed lunch. Although there is a cafe on site, it can have long queues and be expensive. Great for a cake slice but you'll appreciate having food with you!
