Tottenham Marshes have a diverse history. Originally they would have been part of the natural floodplain of the River Lee. In the 1920s there were tennis courts and an open air lido on the marshes, fed by water from Pymmes Brook for a short spell. Later the site was used as a place to deposit building waste from bombed-out parts of London, which in some parts have raised the levels by two metres.
Now it's one of the largest open spaces in Haringey, and a very well-loved open space for dog walkers, nature lovers and people who simply want to unwind in a safe space. Tottenham Marshes straddles the border between the London Boroughs of Haringey and Waltham Forest. The marshes are situated just six miles from Central London and has three main parts Wild Marsh West, Clendish Marsh and Wild Marsh East. The sites are managed to encourage easy and welcoming access, with the majority of users walking, jogging and cycling and enjoying this open space close to Tottenham.
