点评:This was a bit of a gem. When I think of London, wetlands and wildlife is not what I imagine. But as I was browsing Google maps and looking at the area around my hotel, I saw this big green space and thought that I need to have a look at that. I do quite like my green spaces.
And it didn't disappoint, whilst it was also a very industrial area with all those reservoirs, it was fascinating to roam around. Well, the areas that we could roam given that large sections were being upgraded and rebuilt by the water company in charge of it.
But the juxtaposition of the city as a landscape and this quiet green area was striking. The Engine House looked interesting and the shop had some good items, but I didn't have the backspace for any of it.
What it could do with more of were picnics benches and overlooking trees to provide shelter.
I'd still very much recommend this place to visit, especially if you just need some space to unwind and relax.

果然没让我失望。虽然这里也是一片工业区,到处都是水库,但漫步其中却别有一番乐趣。当然,我们能走动的区域有限,因为负责管理的自来水公司正在对大片区域进行升级改造。
城市景观与这片静谧的绿地形成鲜明对比,令人印象深刻。水利工程站看起来很有意思,商店里也有一些不错的商品,可惜我没有足够的空间把它们都带走。
如果能多一些野餐长椅和可以遮荫的树木就更好了。
我仍然强烈推荐大家来这里,尤其适合那些想要放松身心的人。
