Barnsbury Wood, Nature reserve in Barnsbury, London, GB
Located in Islington, this 0.35-hectare woodland contains sycamore, ash, lime, and horse chestnut trees providing shelter for numerous bird species and insects.
The site originated as a private garden of George Thornhill in the 1840s before being acquired by Islington Council in 1974 and designated as a nature reserve.
The woodland functions as an educational space where local organizations teach students and residents about regional ecosystems and wildlife conservation.
Visitors can access Barnsbury Wood from Crescent Street on Tuesdays between 2 PM and 4 PM year-round, with additional Saturday hours during summer months.
This nature reserve served as a filming location for an episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot television series titled 'The Clocks' in 2011.
