Railway Fields, Nature reserve in Harringay, London.
Railway Fields spans two acres with woodland areas, grassland sections, and a central pond surrounded by diverse plant species and walking paths.
The site operated as a goods yard on the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway from 1868 until 1967, primarily handling coal transportation.
The educational center hosts over 600 primary school students annually, offering programs about local wildlife, plant identification, and environmental conservation.
The Conservation Volunteers manage the reserve, providing guided tours, educational sessions, and opportunities for community involvement in wildlife surveys.
The reserve contains the Haringey Knotweed, a plant hybrid between Japanese Knotweed and Russian Vine, first identified at this location in 1987.
