"The wetland centre opened in 2000, taking over a site that had been a series of defunct, concrete-lined Victorian reservoirs and turning it into a large wildlife reserve fairly close to central London. It's a huge site, and packed full of wildlife, with lots of walkways around the edges and some cabins to sit inside and watch the birds through binoculars."
"The WWT, which manages the wildlife park in London, and several others outside London, is offering free entry between Monday 2nd and Sunday 8th February 2026 - including the weekends. Entry would usually cost around £16-£18 per adult, so the offer makes for a big saving. To request a free ticket, go here select the venue you want and then book the free tickets."
