Flora and Fauna

Greenwich Park's sweeping landscape Greenwich Park is an outstanding place to visit. As well being of major historic importance and a World Heritage Site, the Park is also a Grade 1 listed landscape and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation - in short, a real haven for wildlife.

At the time of its enclosure as a deer park in 1433, the Park's 73 hectares (183 acres) were largely covered by common land with scrub oak, thorns, birch, gorse, broom and heath. During the 17th century the landscape was greatly formalised to create the layout of tree-lined avenues and open areas that survives to this day.

Meadow Brown Greenwich Park is divided in two by a steep-sloped escarpment that runs from east to west. The gravel terraces of the southern half of the Park rise to heights of up to 45m above sea level from which you can enjoy some spectacular views across London. This stunning landscape is a simply wonderful setting for watching wildlife among the grasslands and trees of the Park.
