Burnt Ash Pond, Local nature reserve in Lee, London Borough of Lewisham, England.
This enclosed pond, situated within Melrose Close, features diverse aquatic vegetation including yellow iris and various willowherb species along its margins.
Originally established as a farm pond, by 1908 it became part of a large house garden until local conservation efforts preserved it during housing development in 1983.
The Lewisham Council manages this educational nature reserve to support local schools and organizations in teaching about conservation and biodiversity principles.
While the pond remains closed to direct public access, visitors can observe the water body and its surrounding habitat from the adjacent road.
The London Wildlife Trust's successful campaign to protect this water body during urban development resulted in its designation as a protected educational site.
