Tucked in beside the northbound Overground platform is this wildlife area, currently (autumn 2011) being worked on by volunteers to make it ready for use by local schoolchildren. The West London Line follows the route of one of London's lost rivers, Counter's Creek (the bottom 2 miles of which were made navigable in the 19th century as the Kensington Canal; the dock at Lots Road is the only surviving stretch of this). This ditch, as it should probably be called, is probably a small survival of the canal.
