Where people and urban wildlife thrive together
Creekside Discovery Centre is a pioneering urban wildlife charity in south-east London.
We protect and enhance unique river and wild habitats, helping people of all ages connect with the wonder of urban nature.
Through conservation, education and community engagement, we show that even in the heart of the city, people and wildlife can thrive together.
