Descripción
This area has attracted more than 220 bird species since the construction of the reservoirs at the end of the 19th century. Large numbers of waterfowl have long gathered at Barn Elms but in the 1980s these began to disappear and the site itself was no longer used as a reservoir.
To rescue the site the WWT began to develop part of the area for the benefit of waterfowl and other birds and since taking over the site in 1995 the variety and numbers of birds have increased again. Recent work has included landscaping of the banks and the creation of reedbeds and islands.
Around the wetland centre are a range of other habitats; to the west housing with mature gardens, southwards are Barn Elms Park and Barnes Common with open grassland, scrub and trees. The towpath and riverbank lie on the eastern shore of the reservoir.

Accesso
WWT London Wetland Centre is situated close to central London, on the banks of the River Thames in Barnes. It is easily accessible by private and public transport and is close to both Barnes and Barnes Bridge stations. Buses from Barnes station and Hammersmith tube/bus station stop at the Red Lion Pub on Castlenau, just a 5 minute walk to the Centre.
Hammersmith Bridge remains closed to vehicles. This means you can't drive or get a bus from Hammersmith over the bridge to the reserve. You can still walk or cycle across the bridge and pick up a bus once in Castlenau, or drive across the river at Putney Bridge and go from there.

Update 2026: The reserve wardens have managed the reed beds to encourage Avetoro Común to great success. Last year 3 birds overwintered and this year one was seen all throughout summer, with two birds being seen on a couple of occasions.
