So called because it lay next to a Unigate depot, successor to the Curtis Brothers' dairy. Originally this small deciduous wood may have been attached to Well House, which was well known as a spa in the early C19th. In fact, the spa may have been in the wood. As a council sign points out, woodland is rare in Lambeth - this patch is easy to miss - and the site is managed by the council.
