👍👍 Lovely “triangle” of nature in the middle of Chiswick. Like a mini forest between railway and residential buildings, with a little pond. Incredible that they managed to keep it from being turned into a block of flats.... Looked after by volunteers (I think). It’s not huge but will take you 20-30mins...
