Monken Hadley Common, Nature reserve in London Borough of Barnet, England.
This 72-hectare area contains wooded sections, grasslands, and three water bodies, including the substantial Jack's Lake formed by damming Pymme's Brook.
The land originated from the Enfield Chase Act of 1777, which allocated this portion to Monken Hadley villagers as compensation for lost grazing rights.
Monken Hadley Cricket Club has maintained its presence on the common since 1954, establishing a connection between sports and natural preservation.
The London Loop and Pymmes Brook Trail cross through the reserve, with entry points from Camlet Way, Games Road, and several other surrounding streets.
Ancient woodland indicators persist in the ground flora, featuring wood speedwell, stinking iris, and wood sorrel, suggesting centuries-old ecosystem continuity.
