Grove Park Local Nature Reserve

Grove Park Local Nature Reserve is a protected green space in Grove Park, Lewisham, located across the railway from Hither Green Cemetery. The reserve contains a range of habitats, including one of the borough’s few areas of calcareous grassland, supporting a wide variety of plants and wildlife, including several locally rare species. The site has held a Green Flag Community Award since 2009 and is open to the public year round via a path from Baring Road along Railway Children’s Walk. It is also part of the Green Chain Walk, a long-distance walking route across south-east London.
