Turner's Wood, Nature reserve in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London Borough of Barnet, England

Turner's Wood spans 2.4 hectares with sessile oak trees dominating the canopy alongside hornbeam and sycamore across an undulating landscape with small streams.

The woodland remains from the medieval Bishops Wood estate, which belonged to the Bishop of London and later became a Victorian pleasure garden.

The area maintains a private natural woodland status and bird sanctuary, protecting numerous species including coal tits, nuthatches, and woodpeckers.

The entrance on Ingram Avenue remains locked as the nature reserve operates under private management by local residents since 1965.

Two small streams flowing through the wood connect to Decoy Brook, forming part of the River Brent's tributary system.

Location: London Borough of Barnet
