Forest walkways fringed by bluebells in the spring, unexpected sculptures, formal gardens and an arboretum of rare trees, plus an evocative ruined abbey that formed the heart of a tiny 12th-century religious community all lie within Lesnes Abbey Woods’ 220 acres of ancient woodland.
Rather than having to head far out of London, this treasured tract of green space is just 11 minutes from Canary Wharf and 26 from Bond Street since the Elizabeth line landed.
