Belsize Wood Nature Reserve

We will soon be starting sessions in Belsize Wood Nature Reserve! Another secluded patch of woodland just south of Hampstead Heath.

How to find us

Belsize Wood Nature Reserve is tucked away by the tennis club behind Belsize Park underground station, near the Royal Free hospital and the Isokon flats. We use the southern section, accessible from the upper level. The entrance is at the south-east corner of the housing estate.

If coming via Lawn Road from the east, you’ll need to go up all the steps and turn left.

If coming from Haverstock Hill, go down the side of Belsize Park underground station and follow the path round, with the tennis courts to your right. This route to the entrance is step free.

Detailed directions are given below!
