Birding at Walthamstow Wetlands
Meeting point:
Meet outside visitor centre at 11am ( or just indoors if it's raining).
Travel connections:
It is easily accessible by public transport with two London underground tube stations, Tottenham Hale and Blackhorse Road, within a 10 minute walk.
It is also served by the bus routes 123 and 230 on Forest road with bus stops on either side of the road less than a five minute walk away. There are numerous other bus routes from Tottenham Hale. This station is also a mainline station running trains from central London to East Anglia.
Parking:
Paid parking is available at the reserve - see onsite signage for payment information.
Accessibility:
The Engine House and main concrete pathway through the site are accessible for wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties. As a nature reserve the remaining pathways on the wetlands site are dirt track so may be uneven or muddy in places. The Engine House has a platform lift and there are accessible toilets with ramp entry. There are four parking bays available for blue badge holders which are free of charge.
Additional information:
Please bring binoculars if you have, though we do have a few pairs to lend out. Do check the weather and come appropriately dressed, as there is little cover at this site.
