Visit a nature reserve in the heart of West London

The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust's 42 hectare London Wetland Centre at Barnes is a recognised as the best urban site in Europe to watch wildlife. It is an international award winning visitor attraction and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).


It's just a few minutes by bus from Hammersmith Tube, 9.30-6pm in Summer (last admission 5pm) and 9.30am to 5pm in Winter (last admission 4pm).

Whilst it is a little pricey at £8.95, it's a rare chance to get back to nature without leaving the city, and because of this it attracts an unrivalled array of wildfowl and wildlife, looking for a stop-off in the urban sprawl.
