Open House Festival

Beaks and Boroughs: nature in London

walk/tour

The Good Life Eatery, 1 St John's Wood High St, NW8 7NG

London is the ultimate urban sprawl. But hiding among the buildings and cars there are an estimated eight million trees. So who else do we share our city with? Do you have a neighbourhood goose? Are there really seals in the River Thames? Join Lucy Brown from wildlife conservation charity ZSL on a journey through London's wild alter-ego, via the parks and waterways of Camden and Westminster.
