East Warwick Reservoir, Water reservoir and scientific site in Waltham Forest, England.

East Warwick Reservoir forms part of the Lee Valley Reservoir Chain, supplying drinking water to the population of London through Thames Water distribution network.

The East London Waterworks Company constructed this reservoir during the mid-19th century on former marshlands to meet the growing water demands of the city.

The reservoir functions as an observation point for naturalists who study the local populations of water birds, including the prevalent tufted duck species.

Visitors need to obtain permits for activities such as birdwatching and fishing, with the reservoir maintaining a depth of 5.8 meters and 0.96 gigaliters capacity.

The site holds official designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its ecological characteristics and role in preserving local wildlife populations.
