Thurrock Thameside Nature Park, Nature reserve at Thames Estuary in Thurrock, England.
The 120-acre reserve includes coastal mudflats, saltmarsh, grasslands, woodlands, hedgerows, a lake, ponds, and reed beds along the River Thames.
The site transformed from a gravel extraction area until the 1960s into a London waste landfill before becoming a protected nature space.
David Attenborough inaugurated the park in May 2013, recognizing its transformation into an environmental conservation area.
The visitor center contains a café, toilets, and baby changing facilities, operating daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with accessible parking spaces.
The visitor center rests on hydraulic jacks to manage the settlement of underlying materials from its previous function as a landfill site.
