Alexandra Park

Alexandra Park has been offering people an escape from busy city life since 1863. And nowadays, its 196 acres are enjoyed by millions of visitors each year. The Park is home to 694 different types of plants, animals and fungi, including 212 different types of insects and 26 types of arachnids! Big and small, all of these species play a role in balancing our delicate ecosystem. While many plants and animals found in the park are common to London, 38 species in Alexandra Park are classed as rare or protected by legislation.
