Brockley Nature Reserve Open Day

It's been a while since I last plugged the Brockley Nature Reserve - an obscure, inaccessible and beautiful wilderness on Vesta Road - so for those of you who haven't been reading religiously for the last nine years, it's worth mentioning that its next open day will be on Sunday, September 25th, 1-4pm.

The 4.2 hectare green space has a discrete entrance near the railway bridge and is also known as New Cross Gate Cutting. My insistence on calling it by its proper Brockley name used to cause outrage among the New Cross massive, but we've all moved on from that kind of petty provincialism now that we all have microbreweries and gastropubs coming out the wazoo. Nothing less than the wrong sort of teabag will trigger that kind of fury these days.
