Wanstead Park, Grade II* listed park and garden in London Borough of Redbridge, England
The 57-hectare park contains multiple ornamental lakes, landscaped gardens, and ancient woodland areas connected by a network of paths and walkways.
Originally part of Wanstead House grounds in the 18th century, the park transformed into a public space when the City of London Corporation purchased it in 1880.
The Temple, constructed in the 1760s, now functions as a visitor center displaying exhibitions about the park's history and local environmental features.
Multiple entrances provide access to the park, with the main entrance located on Warren Road and additional points leading to the Glade and Ornamental Pond.
The park includes several centuries-old trees, including a 346-year-old European oak and numerous ancient yew specimens throughout the grounds.
