    Have been going to lakes for the best part of 30yrs ..when growing up it was on my doorstep, and now when ever I'm in the area, I still visit..However now we have lost the park keeper of 26yrs the lakes has suffered from people who are not respecting the place leaving rubbish on the the fishing jetties, one of the Canadian geese had a fishing hook stuck in its neck ..careless Fisher.. I still love this slice of wild in South London and always enjoy my visit ..please put litter in the bin...x

    Idyllic and beautiful, this is a natural gem in the heart of SE London...a little off the beaten track and part of what's left of The Great North Wood, it's a great space to relax anytime of the year.
