Wildlife
Around the vegetable plots are some attractive ornamental plantings and a number of specimen trees. Greater burdock, which is uncommon in London, grows on the edge of the site. Beside the Harrington site is small developing woodland. The young canopy is dominated by sycamore with the odd silver birch and tree-of-heaven. The ground flora is mostly nettle, ground elder and bramble, with male fern and a range of common woodland flowers.Facilities
