This is the view from Gates Green Road which runs along the western edge of West Wickham Common. The Common is mostly wooded and forms a continuous tract of open land with Hayes Common and the London Green Belt. West Wickham Common is noted for its wonderful ancient oak pollards and the notice gives more information about these. The tree seen here just into the woodland though has died. The Common is owned and managed by the City of London.
