Ackroyd Drive Greenlink, Local nature reserve in Bow Common, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England
Ackroyd Drive Greenlink is a linear park situated between a street and a railway viaduct with five rectangular sections displaying different meadow types. The reserve includes information boards and marked routes for visitors to explore.
This nature reserve was created in the 1990s as part of a plan to link different parks in the area. The initiative aimed to increase accessible green space in this densely built neighborhood.
The space features public art and murals created by local artists that reflect the community's connection to nature. These works help residents and visitors understand the area's environmental significance.
The site is easily accessible through multiple entrances and has level paths suitable for most visitors. There are designated dog-friendly areas, making it convenient for families with pets to visit.
Each of the five sections is named after a different plant, creating an informal guide through various habitats. Visitors can observe how these named areas attract different insects and birds.
