An oasis to unwind and relax at
The adult fee of £13.49 I found a bit steep. as I did with price's in the on site cafe thou service was quick Delighted walks,and visters, the birds, otters ect helped me to Chill out.
A fair percentage of the birds are residential
Give yourself a good 3 - 4 hours with lunch to take in all that is on offer here

Beautiful. Informative. Indoor play area upstairs for kids was a big hit. Hot food & drinks a godsend in the cold weather, but they're definitely on the pricier end. Good quality though so worth it.

Absolutely stunning place! You'll forget you're in London! Great place for all ages and the otters are so sweet. So much to explore you could spend hours here

I definitely liked this place, which is an oasis of wildlife close to the heart of London. There are incredibly beautiful birds and if you are a lover of birdwatching or just want to get into it, the London Wetland centre is the right place. What I really appreciated was the great accessibility, all premises were wheelchair friendly and it is perfect to spend some time with the family. There are several viewpoints where you can admire birds in their natural environment or areas which host rare bird species like the Hawaiian goose.

Always interesting and varied birds to see. Bitterns in the reeds in winter are a high point.

Personally I find the non-native bird enclosures a bit theme park like and can't wait to get into the wilder parts. I wish they provided more information about how they are managing the planting, the lakes and ponds and the place as a whole. Many wetlands offer board walks and piers to let visitors get out onto the lakes but here the hides and paths are places at the margins and most of them don't let you feel you're really amongst wild creatures.

Too many chattering parents with buggies ignoring the educational opportunities for their hapless infants. Too many telescope junkies more interested in talking loudly about their expensive kit to notice the wildlife. But what would you expect in the affluent inner suburbs?

I still visit often though and the cafe, recently refurbished, does decent breakfasts!
