Belsize Wood, Nature reserve in Belsize Park, London, United Kingdom

The 0.7 hectare Belsize Wood contains diverse tree species including elder, hawthorn, ash, Swedish white-beam, and sycamore across its steeply sloping terrain.

The land belonged to the Midland Railway Company in the 1860s, with a railway tunnel underneath, before Camden Council acquired it in 1971.

The nature reserve sits adjacent to the Grade I listed 1934 Isokon Flats, where landscape architect Christopher Tunnard developed paths and plantings.

The reserve divides into two sections: a northern area open daily to visitors and a southern portion accessible only during weekends.

A railway ventilation shaft remains in the north-west corner, marking the underground tunnel that runs beneath the nature reserve.
