Islington Ecology Centre

Amazing little oasis in the middle of the city. What used to be the old rail yards has been transformed into a wooded area with a pond, some fields, and plenty of interesting places to explore.

Well worth a visit with the kids.

Very nice quiet and safe area for the family...

I like this lovely 'nature' oasis in the middle of a busy part of London.
Great place to bring your little ones to enjoy some 'nature' exploration and learning.

I had a long day at work I had been working since 7am and it was a match day, I work retail at a Tesco and had a paticularly bad day.
I asked an older lady from the centre if she could kindly open the gate for me as I live in the street that overlooks the nature reserve and have done for the past 20 years. She made a face at me and said 'find another way around' but let in a lady because her partner volunteered at the ecology centre. She also said all the gates were closed but when I finally arrived at my street I saw that the gates were open. It doesn't take much to be kind to someone, kindness is a virtue.
I'm very upset from this experience and at the entitlement of some people. I wonder..Would she have let me in if I was white?

Love people running a martnaity and baby session. Venue is a cool place I can't wait to take my baby alone when they arrive.

I came here for work training. It was a nice walk to get to there and building was nice and clean. Not much else I can really say to be honest.

Lot's to see. Lovely centre. Interesting woodland and meadow walks. Fun bits for children.

Good place to get advice on garden growing, also lovely space for some quiet time or picnic only 4stars due to centre not open yet
