The Spit/Causeway is a nature reserve at the mouth of the River Wandle. It is a small triangular site, only about 50 m long, and 20 m wide at its broadest. It was overgrown and inaccessible but a new footbridge over the river and recent renovation work has opened it up to the public.
It comprises retreated tidal terraces bisected by a wooden boardwalk. There are two small sparse areas of shrubs and an area of hard surfacing on which is sited a piece of public art, called Sail by Sophie Horton (2003).
Ecologically, three large white willow trees are the main focus of interest.
Nice little spot likely to be expanded and improved within the next 10 years because of surrounding development plans.
Small nice green area next to the Thames.
Quite beautiful and magical spot ...
Wandle meets Thames. Very small almost forgotten green area over looking the mouth of the Wandle and the Thames. Now surrounded by luxury flats!
