Woodberry Wetlands

Allen Scott Limited

The brief for this project was to take forward the partnership’s vision of a ‘Woodberry Wetlands’ using the current East and West reservoirs of Stoke Newington which are currently not open to the public. The solution is a highly fundable project that will bring 21 hectares, in the middle of one of the densest areas of London, into public use and protect the special wildfowl habitats.
