Scadbury Park

Scadbury Park is a Local Nature Reserve[1][2] in Chislehurst in the London Borough of Bromley.

[3] It is over 300 acres (120 ha), and is part of an extensive wildlife corridor together with Petts Wood and the Jubilee Country Park.

[4] It has large areas of ancient woodland, especially oaks, and flowers include lily of the valley, which is rare in London.

Ponds have London's largest population of protected great crested newts.

[8] In 1424 it was purchased by Thomas Walsingham, a wealthy wine and cloth merchant in the City of London who served as a Member of Parliament in 1410 and 1413.
