Totteridge Green

Totteridge Green is a nature reserve near North London with grassland, woodland patches, and a pond supporting diverse wildlife. The five hectare site contains different habitats across its open and forested areas.

In the 1840s, this place had fourteen ponds, but only one remains today. The surviving water feature shows how the landscape has changed over time.

The name comes from heathland that once covered this area. Local residents use it as a green retreat within the suburban neighborhoods of North London, offering escape from nearby urban streets.

The site is accessible by road and has paths for walking through the grounds. The best time to visit is during warmer months when plants are flowering and wildlife is most active.

Rare flowering plants like great burnet and bog stitchwort grow in damp hollows across the grassland. These special spots attract photographers and nature enthusiasts looking for uncommon species.
