Description:

Camley Street Natural Park is a local nature reserve on the banks of the Regent’s Canal in the heart of London’s King’s Cross area. Created from derelict land and opened in 1985, the two--acre site has since become internationally acclaimed.

The park offers a landscape inspired by nature: a mosaic of meadow, marsh woodland and open-water habitat. These habitats are intensively managed to maintain their diverse wildlife value and include many species of birds, bees, butterflies, amphibians and a rich variety of plants.

The park, which is managed by the London Wildlife Trust, provides the local community with a valuable resource: visitor centre, open-access green space, environmental education for schools and lifelong learning, a varied events programme and opportunities for volunteers to help manage the park. It won a Green Flag award in 2010 and 2011.
