The nature reserve is a quiet oasis in a built up area of London, where you can unwind and enjoy nature. It is home to many animals, including a large population of slow worms and a number of common lizards. There are many interesting gravestones around the church that dates back to the twelfth century. The heritage and conservation volunteers clear and record gravestones as well as creating and maintaining natural habitats.
