About this Event

South of the River Thames, an ancient landscape of woodland and wooded commons once covered the high ground between Deptford and Selhurst.

The Great North Wood was gradually lost as London expanded, but fragments still remain. Join us to learn about the history and wildlife of this ancient landscape.

The walk will start at Streatham Common, passing through Biggin Wood, Spa Wood, Beaulieu Heights, Stambourne Woodland Walk and finishing in Crystal Palace park near the train station. The route is approximately 4 miles.

Meeting point:

The Rookery Cafe
