Wanstead Park

Nestled among the East London suburbs, Wanstead Park is a peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. This expansive green space is dotted with free roaming woodpeckers, majestic oaks, and tranquil ponds. On the grounds you’ll find a walled garden, a cricket pitch, and a gothic-style building called the Temple.

At the heart of Wanstead Park lies the historic Orangery, once frequented by Lord and Lady Tylney during the 18th century. Today, this grand landmark serves as a popular café, playground, and garden showcasing a variety of flower beds. Or head over to the lake and enjoy a leisurely stroll, admiring the simple beauty of swans, coots, and mallard ducks.

Whether you’re picnicking in the meadows, admiring the views, or exploring the wooded hills, Wanstead Park is a captivating escape from the city. Thanks to voluntary conservation, this precious eco-system will continue to thrive for years to come.
