The Walthamstow Reservoirs in Waltham Forest, London are currently being transformed into a distinctive urban wetland nature reserve and centre for learning that is unprecedented in size in London. Opening in 2017, Walthamstow Wetlands will give visitors free access to the wildlife and industrial heritage of this urban oasis.
This inspiring project is a unique public, private and charity partnership between Waltham Forest Council, Thames Water and the London Wildlife Trust.
The site is due to open as a visitor destination and attraction in autumn 2017 and facilities will include a renovated Grade II listed Marine Engine House, housing a shop and café, Education space, a Copper Mill Tower viewing platform and a new hub for volunteers.
