Wanstead Park

[1] The park is bordered to the north by the A12 road, to the east by the River Roding and A406 North Circular Road, to the south by the Aldersbrook Estate, the site of the former Wanstead Sewage Works and the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium and to the west by Wanstead Golf Course.

One leads to the Glade, a broad grassy ride cut through the woodland and running in a direct easterly line from the former site of the house - it extends five hundred yards due east down to the Ornamental Pond.

The Temple is open every weekend with displays on the history of Wanstead Park including finds excavated from the 18th-century grotto and the 'Lost Roman Villa'.

The City of London Corporation runs a programme of events at the Temple and its surrounds, including family craft days, open-air theatre and musical performances.

Fauna includes Eastern gray squirrels, red foxes, Canada geese, and mute swans.

Soil degradation is common because of high levels of human activity, with litter a further problem.
