Lakeside Nature Reserve

Lakeside Nature Reserve is a small Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation in Church End, Finchley in the London Borough of Barnet.

It was designed as landscaping for an office complex, and its main feature is a lake with a fountain. Plants fringing the shore include water mint, gypsywort and purple-loosestrife. Waterfowl nest on a small island and there are dragonflies in summer.[1]

There is no public access but it can be viewed from a footpath off Strathmore Gardens.
