Tolworth Court Farm Fields is a Local Nature Reserve and consists of a system of fields and hedgerows. At the time of the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1865 this area was part of Tolworth Court Farm. At one stage up to the 1980s it was owned by the London Borough of Lambeth, who originally purchased it with the intention of laying out a cemetery. In the 1980s the Royal Borough of Kingston bought the form to formalise public access to the fields. Some of the hedges are at least 200 years old. Each of the eight fields which make up Tolworth Court Farm Fields has a name - this is Seven Acres. This view in the far north corner of the Fields looks across a dried-up pond just beyond the seat.
